Luxor Beige interior .... Pro's & Cons
 
I like the beige interior as it has a cool effect . My wife thinks that it is easy to get stains and keeping it clean requires efforts .
Please chime in ...

I usually avoid light color interiors, a dark color will age better and hide stains from daily use. But in the end it all really comes down to what you think looks best.

If you don't use polarized glasses light colors can cause an annoying reflection on the windshield at certain times of the day. This is something to consider when you are test driving.

We ordered basic black. For me, anything with beige carpeting is a big no no. Porsche needs to add some nice two tones with beige leather and dark carpeting.

Totally agree with you.. exactly the reason I avoided the lighter colours. The first Turbo I sat in had the umber/cream and it was destroy from mud.

Just had to take back a new CS because the glare from the beige dash was more than the wife could handle. test one in the sun.

Thanks everyone .
I was inclined to get beige as my 8 yr old lexus has black interior and was getting tired ...no more ...
Will stick with black again . My lexus interior is almost new despite very abusive use including dumping golf bag, shoes and clubs , not to mention my 5 and 7 yr old's clutter on backseat .
It is going to be black on black ...
Two tone looks great ..., however will need some care and may meet the same fate as beige . Better to save money for the next toy, plenty on this website .

i have luxor beige

A: marks up like no other

B: dash reflects badly

C: my brown leather belt already has stained the seat

looks good, but if u want this color get the cognac/expresso...

if i did it again id have gotten the blue/black.

i agree i have luxor beige on my S '11 and i am always alone in the car so rarely passenger's will be with me i noticed that the edge of the seat on the left is getting dirty ,, the door has fingerprints also the lower part of the door will have some scratches maybe from my feet when entering getting out the car ,, nice but i would love to stick to darker colors cognac/expresso is my choice ,, beige is hard to keep it clean ,,

Lighter colors will require a nice interior cleaning/conditioning with every exterior wash. If your time doesn't allow for this or if you can't have it regularly professionally detailed stay away from the lighter colors and go dark.

Light = visual stains
Dark = hides stains
