Black vs. Red interior

Only had to drive 10 miles for mine
Worth every inch. Love it.

I got my Ceramic/Red GT RWD in Tampa. Was the only one in the Florida at the time

I had to wait for my Ceramic Grey on Red combo to arrive from factory for two months, there were none in stock anywhere at the time. Well worth the wait.

For those with the red seats/interior, how is the wear? Does it show marks easy? I'm planning on getting the red interior but worried about looking dirty quick

Zero issues on my 2018 red on red before I traded it in! Just gotta take care of it. I used a good leather cleaner and sealed that with Gyeon Leather Shield! Seats always looked great even with 36,000 miles on them!

The leather does start to look darker, but a good leather cleaner and consistent upkeep and it still looks good. I do my best to not “slide” into the seat so as not to cause more wear on the bolsters.

I thought about swapping in red door panels into my black interior. I feel like that would be the best of both worlds. No giant sea of red but no boring all black interior either.

I have 35,600 miles on my car with red interior and it still looks great. As Derek said, it does get a little darker over time but nothing major. I still get compliments on it all the time and I honestly don't clean it very often (but I don't get my seats very dirty). I've only used leather conditioner on it once during ownership. Its pretty durable.

Red and light colored interiors are for show IMO. Dark and black is for everyone else. Too much can go wrong with something stuck to your butt that you can't see. Dark interiors help reduce glare IMO too.

Exactly what I want - A GT-Line RWD Ceramic Silver with Red Interior with sun & sound package

Pretty true. Sadly I sat in some oil or something one day and it left a small, darker colored area on my red seat. I'm probably the only one who notices it, but I do every time I get in the car. haha

That would look pretty tight.
