Just curious how many people have ALCANTARA (MY BAD) compared to leather interior.

 

This option is also subjective to year. I prefer the leather over the suede for longevity but I like the look of the suede better.

 

you meant alcantara, right? cuase it's not suede

 

I sold my 2011 ISF to put some money away before our baby was born, but miss it so much. Found a few ISF's for sale locally with suede. Salesman could have sold a car that day, but I wasn't too keen on the suede after already having the white leather. Guess I'll wait it out until I can make a decision.

 

Thanks for the correction.

 

Lmao, yeah your right!

 

I'm in the market for an IS F, but also am concerned about the alcantara interior... I'm worried that it would fade, flatten, and how I would keep it clean?

 

You sold your car!! That's why you haven't been around!!! Congrats on the baby!! If you're feeling the need to drive an F again hit me up bro!

 

In the obsidian black (later years, i have '12) you did not have a choice, you got black alcantara leather.

I would not worry about the fading and durability. Its pretty tough stuff and I have grown to like it more than the standard leather. At first I hated it. Now, I love it.

As for the care, its a pain in *** to clean, but it does not get dirty fast either...There are whole web sites that explain how to clean and treat alcantara.

 

I'm only looking for a 2011-2012 UltraSonic Blue, all I see is the Alpine Leather and Alcantara... My previous car was a '02 is300 with the full leather interior and never had an issue with it.
