Default F-Sport with red or black interior?

When I browse the 2013 F-Sport Black with red interior.

Do you think the red seats look cheap or look alright? What about black interior?

Do you understand me?

I'll choose red...

Unfortunately it's not avail on Luxury, so mine is black.
But should go with red interior if you can.

I don't like the red very much. Also, the red will pick up dye from your clothing, etc., much like the lighter leathers.

instead of asking what others like...why don't you go with what YOU like?

I'd pick red but it's your car so pick the interior that suites you best. GL

I have nebula pearl with cab interior. Nothing cheap about it at all. In fact it looks rich. It's really not "red",

Red for sure. I've had it for a year in mine and haven't had any dye transfer or abnormal wear issues... I'm very happy i didn't go monotone.

It looks pretty high class... It's a deeper red than what you find in most BMWs.

Passionate Black for the win. Too bad it's not an option.

For me, Cabernet was the clear choice. I think it looks classy and modern. I've owned it for 22 months now and it still looks great and I never regretted it. I do, from time to time, regret the black exterior, but only briefly. Due to the upkeep requirements, that choice definitely merits long consideration.

The Cabernet is beautiful. I don't see how anyone can say it looks cheap, its so deep and rich. I like black interiors as much as the next guy, but a little something different is nice too, hence why I got the Flaxen. I would have gotten Cabernet though had it been available on the Luxury.

The leather is VERY high quality, dye transfer is not an issue it just cleans right off.

I bet black/red would be really nice. Only seen pictures of the red but, to me, it is subdued and tasteful. New red interior on Vettes is so bright I doubt I'd live with it.

I hope someone can post pictures of it.

I got the cabernet and would do it again, although Flaxen looks really good on white cars. The cabernet doesn't look cheap and isn't hooker-lipstick bright, it's a subtle red. Everyone that gets in just has this wide-eyed look as they see the seats and everything around them.

It does transfer dye from some jeans but that'll happen anytime you have a non-black seat.
