Absolutely IMO. It's significantlly less than the price you pay outside the US, and you get leather on virtually every visible surface. Plastic only on the window switches and cd player area and that's pretty much it. Very nice stitching and detail, and the leather on the seats is incredibly soft, but can be a little loose. The Alcantara headliner is very high-class also. Full leather really bumps the inside of the car from very nice to luxurious.
