Most people rarely clean their cars or take them to the car wash and let them use the cheapest buy in bulk type garbage on their car. This is reflected in the condition of these (mostly 2008s, seems like that combo was more popular with the earlier cars for some reason) white interior cars you tend to see for sale ... the front seats and door panels look destroyed.

If you have the discipline to properly care for your interior, jump on it. Otherwise, it's probably best to look for another color. That said, USB/Alpine is a killer combo (my first choice when i bought my car) and probably incredibly hard to find on a 2014. Heck, I spent months looking for a 2012+ car in that combination and not even ONE came up for sale, which is why i went for my 2nd choice, SFP on Red interior.

Very well put. My driver's seat is the hardest one to keep clean (for obvious reasons). I do love the contrast between USB exterior to Alpine White interior. Also (if im not mistaken), The USB/Alpine combo is what Yukihiko Yaguchi originally envisioned/tested the ISF in. The right amount of proper care will keep the alpine white looking nice.

I've got the Alpine White interior and I've got to say I love it, most people tend to prefer black, but for me it's the exact opposite. I find black to be too plain and boring, while white gives it a more luxurious feel, and brightens up the interior. I've had next to no issues keeping these seats clean, except for the day I bought the car when I spontaneously decided to wear my new blue jeans lol. Apart from that, it honestly does not get noticeably dirty, as long as you can keep your butt clean then it has no real reason to.

Black interior for sure. I’m trying to find a beat up set of seats so I can upholstery it to red😅
