Default looking for a b5s4. Should I stay away from the light grey interior?

I had an 01.5 with the onyx leather and I liked it, even though it got rather hot in the summer.

I like the look of the light grey interior, I'm just wondering how hard it is to keep clean or how easily it stains, etc.

Default I personally hate light leather interiors. They get dirty easily and don't look as good imo as a

dark interior. Grey seats and a tip were the two things I couldn't deal with when I bought my S4. I had to have a 6 speed and at the very least the black leather. I actually ended up getting the sport package (alcantara seats and silver trim) because I hate the wood trim too

Default I liked my silver interior.

Its no harder to 'keep clean' than any other color, imo. But then again, I don't let my cars get dirty in the first place.

Default I think the contrast of the light leather is nice. I have it, honestly it gets dirty to a point and

then doesnt seem to decay to much past that point. And it still looks somewhat original, just a bit dirty

Default I have the light grey leather in my S4 and like it - I don't find it hard to keep clean

but like any leather it requires periodic care

If you're busy you can use the Mequiars leather wipes; if you want to get a little more involved & you have time use the Zymol - these are what I use on mine; my interior is nearly pristine - and I'm sure there are many other great products out there

I've never thought it to get hot - I live in Houston and don't have tinted windows, but I do use a windshield sun reflector and sometimes vent the sunroof<ul><li><a href="http://www.meguiars.com/?automotive-leather-care/Gold-Class-Rich-Leather-Wipes">http://www.meguiars.com/?automotive-leather-care/Gold-Class-Rich-Leather-Wipes</a</li></ul>

Tint will make the onyx interior much more bearable in the summer

Default My Silver 01.5 had light grey and I liked it. Not a problem to keep clean.

Although the wear creases show up more over time when compare to black.
