Dont have the car yet but planning on gettin one (6mt) as soon as I get back from this TDY. Question is which interior color. Cream or black. Origionally I liked the black, but looking at them for months I think I'm leaning towards the cream. What do you guys think? I have never actually sat in one, so I dont have a real good opinion for myself yet. Are both easy to keep clean? Give some reasons why you like the one you have.

 

i think your referring to 'stone' 05s.....formerly 'willow' on the 03-04 and graphite rather than 'black. i personally like darker colors...all a matter of your own personal taste.

 

I have graphite. I've always owned cream interiors and wanted a change.

IMO -Can't go wrong with either color on ANY color combination, but I like contrast. The only combination I probably would not like is IP w/willow (no disrespect to those who have this). Black w/graphite may be too hot (heat) for some parts of the country.

As with dark exterior, dark interior is tougher to keep clean. Dust seems to always be visible. Although graphite looks sweet when cleaned! Also, the graphite interior seems to age quicker than the other light interiors, this may be a quality issue or because the dark color attracts more heat. I try to condition my interior once every two months.

If I have to do over, I'd still get the graphite!

Enjoy.

 

I got the wheat color in IP coupe - I love it.

 

I don't like the lighter color interior so I got black. But.. it really depends on what you like. I also think that it is easier to take care of a darker interior.

 

The lighter colors are harder to keep clean. When you swing you feet in and out of the car sometimes you kick the side of the door or the inside of the car near the emergency brake area. It marks it up easily. Also if you have kids forget about it. They will find a way to get it messy. I know by exp.

 

If you like to wear shorts in the summer get stone.
I have had black interior and I will never make that mistake again.

 

Graphite/Black....hides the dirt. If taken care of graphite/black interior still looks new years later!

 

Dust is always easier to combat than accumulated marks/grime/etc. Light interiors just don't age as gracefully no matter how **** you are, and I'm of about the highest order

Besides....sports cars should have dark interiors (ok, maybe that parts a blatant opinion but....)

 

Once you go black, you never go back..... hehe sorry I had to!

 

Yeah... It depends on your own taste... I would prefer The black... Light colors tend to get dirty fast...

 

I have the willow interior in my '04. It stays amazingly clean, but I'm not a slob either!

Since I live in FL, the willow doesn't get as hot in the sun as black does. Black gets hot even with tint and a sunscreen stuck in the windshield.

The willow makes the interior seem more spacious and classier.

Graphite gives a sportier feel, but it makes the interior seem more claustrophobic.

Any way you go is good.

 

I don't like the cream color. I love the black with the aluminum. To me the difference between the two is like being in two different cars.

I'm sure there are some people out there that like cream, but not me. When I went to buy my car I loved the Desert Platinum color and how it changed colors, but could not buy it because of the lighter interior, so I went with a Diamond Graphite with Graphite interior. I love the interior color and now feel the DG color to be a more sporty color the the DP.

Its all personal preference.

 

i have wheat, looks more luxury on m white G, but i wish i would have gotten black because wheat is a pan in the a** to keep clean!

 

i have graphite on my IP coupe. black interior is easier to keep clean, and will still look like new later on. and i think it looks sporty.
