AEK-S5

I'm currently waiting for my new Black S5 with Magam Red
and I'm really worried about the magma red being to flashy and make it cheap looking. The dealer don't have any for me to see so I'm looking at pictures and it's hard to judge. I'm thinking switching to black to be safe if the dealer will still alow me to, It's been a week ago.
Any one out there with Magma red interior?
Thanks

I know what you mean. I looked at a lot of pics online and noticed that the red seats appear shiny with crease marks everywhere. As leather ages this will happen naturally but I think a lot of it can be prevented with better care.

I've had my magma red for over a year and don't notice any problems... I'm pretty careful getting in and out of the car and also use interior cleaner across the seats every other wash. Also windows are tinted and its 100% garaged. I guess I can say so far my technique is working... Leather still looks the same since I got it from the factory.

It looks fantastic and not cheap at all, I have phantom/magma/birchwood trib, pretty rare combo as no one goes for the wood, but it looks sick. I have some pictures posted on here, somewhere, I'll see if I can find them.

I'm glad to hear that! my brains are going crazy the whole day.
the thing is I own a business and see alot of customers with the car
I was afraid it might be too flashy.
I would love to see the pictures
Thanks

Yeah,above was a few shots I took a month or so after I got the car, the camera makes the magma look brighter and oranger, it's nothat bright, and much different in brightness.

Beautiful!
So the red doesn't jump in your face it's visually well balance?
look real good in the pictures
Can't wait for mine.

No,I can attest it's not gaudy at all, it's very sheek, It's moer earthy red, more rustic than straight up tomato red.

Great, I guess It's nothing like the pictures
Iv'e been seeing all over.

You've made an excellent choice.

I have black but wish I'd gone magma red (or pearl silver.)

Magma red looks wicked and stylish. It's a fairly deep red, looks darker and better in person than in pics. Not cheap looking at all, looks expensive. Take good care of it to keep it looking good (important for resale value too.) Hope you enjoy it as much as I think I would.
