Four kids (13, 11, 6, and 6)...am I crazy for ordering white interior?
About to place order for new G05. Will go with either sapphire black or arctic grey...would love the contrast with a white interior...but am I crazy?

It isn't going to get any dirtier than black or be any harder to clean, just will be more noticeable that it is dirty. I have ivory in my car, I just hit it every week or 2 with a damp cloth wipe down and a little Zaino cleaner if needed and some conditioning a few times a year.
Worst if you wear jeans a lot as the that will turn the seats blue, but the Zaino takes it right off.

Appreciate the feedback...struggling with this one. General consensus is 1. I'm crazy 2. quick wipe down rids the manifestations of my craziness (the dirt, not the kids).
I think tarfuto looks nice, but I can't for the life of me figure out which trim works best with it. |

It can be done.. Just stay on top of it and you should be good.

One word: discipline.
I had an Oyster interior F10 with a 2 and 5 year old. Cleaned up perfectly. My kids didn't run rampant in the interior. Most of yours are old enough to behave. Even the little one should be fine. OP you WILL need to put in a little extra effort at cleaning. Black is nearly maintenance free. But the white interior cleans up well and there are good products out there, like Leathermasters and others, that will prevent stains. Get it and be happy. |

Most of those who say crazy have probably never had the interior or kids, or both. It's a common misconception, totally overblown. I have had Oyster in my BMW, Tartufo in my Cayenne, and Pebble Gray (same as Oyster pretty much) in my 911. None have been especially difficult to keep clean. Kids in all of them all the time. |

Jeans are the worst offender but cleanup easy with the right products. If you want to literally do nothing, then just get black and pretend it is clean because you can't see all the dirt.

It's the drivers squab that cops it - with blue jeans! My E70 with oyster went blue as it was a DD for my wife. F15 with black is too dark, G05, not sure what color to get....
