Default Anybody ever get tired of a two tone interior?

was on the fence at first. Much better n person than in pics IMHO. Now I kinda like it but what about 6 months, a year, will the novelty wear off?

I have agreed on terms for an Ice silver with black/silver alcantara and there is still 50% of me that thinks I should get an all black interior, even if it means waiting 4-6 months for a car.

I have a 22 pound chocolate lab that is just about 6 months old. she will be on the small side for sure...40-50 lbs I suspect. I know I can get a seat cover from Orvis for the back seat so that when I take her hiking i the summer etc. Looks like it is easy enough to clean and take care of...

A silver alcantara interior might be hard to keep clean with a dog, no?

At first a concern but looking at some of these seat covers by Orvis etc, I am not so worried anymore. From what I have read Alcantara is easy to clean. The covers strap to the back seat and cover the whole thing.

Yes, black would probably be easier.

Depending on how long you plan to keep the car, I found that a plain (i.e. black interior) is easier to sell.

I still love my silver/black interior, and get compliments on it all the time. It isn't terrible to keep clean, though you will have to clean it often. For your dog, Audi makes a OEM-branded cover for the rear seats that works very well.

Had a two-tone blue/black Mini Cooper S before, and I never got sick of it. Slightly more maintenance, but for me the two-tone interiors offered in the S4 are one the big differentiators between an A4 and an S4 from a style perspective. Can't wait for mine.....

Worry less about the dog, more about your jeans.
