Cocoa vs black

Once in a while I spot a car on the market that has virtually everything I want, except it has a cocoa interior, whereas I typically like black or black/gray best. I'm just curious if anyone who owns a cocoa interior car has come to regret it for any reason.

No. You really need to see the Cocoa in person. Pictures tend to make it lighter than it is. In addition it has Black marbling throughout.

No regrets at all. It looks very rich and unique.

A classic leather look, like fine luggage, the best stock interior you can get, almost worth the price.

The Cocoa interior is simply stunning in person.

I absolutely hated it when I first saw it in pictures, but after viewing it in person I can't imagine having another interior colour!

Color choice is really based on opinion . Many folks love the cocoa but it's what you feel that matters when selecting your car . I pit cocoa somewhere as a midpoint color --meaning I don't love it or dislike it . I feel indifferent towards it wheras there are some colors which would outright be a dealbreaker . On a car this expensive I do feel that you ought to have the color you want MOST or if settling it ought to at least be a second choice.

If cocoa is not number 1 or even number 2 --Pass on it . That's my opinion.

My car dealer personal car is a C4S in Seal with Cocoa, he goes through carsfaster then any one I know, he refuses to sell this car as he loves the Cocoa interior way too much to let it go. I have to agree with him, amazing looking interior.

I've loved the Cocoa interior ever since the 2004 limited edition Boxster came out. I didn't think that the retro color would work, but it's gorgeous when matched up with certain paint colors. The cocoa would be a big bonus when I seek out my next P-car.

Cocoa is gorgeous. I think it looks awesome on White and Grey cars. It just makes the interior look so rich in color.

The only color I am not really a fan of is tan, have never liked it on any car. Too generic for my taste.

Cocoa is very elegant and suites bright and dark colours alike such as white, silver, grey , black and blue.
