I do, it just doesn't look very dirt resistant. I am much worse about taking care of the inside of my cars than the outside.

I think it will show wear more than darker colors and dirt will certainly be more visible. I personally don't like the color but just as Screamin911 said - the important part is that you like it.

I'd assume if you are asking others for their opinion it's because you aren't really sure if you like it THAT much.

That being said - I really prefer black interiors but for some reason I really dig the the red Porsche interior also even though red is my least favorite color.

I had the same color on my C4 and liked it. But as you mentioned it shows dirt and scrathes seemed to appear on the leather as well.

Like the others have said if you like it that is what matters most!

Probably a good color for very hot weather areas. I do also prefer black or red interior cars.

Its OK. FWIW, I have Space Grey, which is lighter. I am not obsessive about cleaning it and i don't have any stains, scratches, etc after nearly 50K miles.

Thumbs up

I had the same color on my Lapis Blue cabriolet. I loved the color combo.

I personally think that a color like that will look a bit dirty even when its clean....and even worse when its actually dirty.

This interior color doesn't really look "sporty", but looks more "luxury" or "old people"....

That's the combo I have on my 996TT and absolutely love it. In fact, I didn't want a car with any other color combo. Maybe I'm weird, but I think the dark tan is absolutely gorgeous. Mine has the two-toned blue carpet and Lapis center console though, which does change the personality of the interior...

Even if you like the color, I'd beat the seller up a bit on price. When you go to sell the car, as is clear in this thread, people either love the color or hate it. You may find the one guy that's been looking forever for that combo and willing to pay extra, but more than likely it will be a more difficult sale. You might as well save the money now.
