Default Interior Staining?

Hi,

I'm looking to buy the CT 200h but I have mixed feelings on the interior. I'm definitely not going with black since that's a terrible idea for Florida. I really love the look of the white/beige. However, I am worried that it might get dirty and stain easily over time. Does anyone have any advice or experience with these colors? Thanks!

If it's vinyl ("Nu-Luxe") you should be fine. Leather may retain dirt/stains.

I can't comment on the white/beige interior however I am amazed how well the vinyl holds up. I have the black vinyl at over 124,000 miles and it looks a lot better than leather would at the usage. There is no *** grove or "shiny drivers seat" that you see in most used cars with leather. There is wrinkling on the bottom bolster from getting in an out of the car but that is inevitably going to happen.

at 90k, 4+ yrs of ownership... no rips/stains/dried or cracks, shiny spots, smells, etc. nu luxe is amazing.
my interior detailing involves spraying down interior with meguiars interior detailer, and then wipe it off... simple

I live in florida and 90% of my past vehicles had either black or gray interior, only a few had light gray and those are the easiest to stain or get dirty. My last vehicle had the black nuluxe and my new one has the rioja F-sport version, no complains at all.
