I'm planning to get a TSX with Satin Silver Metallic but not sure if I should pick Quartz or Ebony for interior. We want the interior to be durable and easy to clean. The Quartz looks really nice but Ebony seems to be easier to clean. I'm 50/50. What will you pick? Thanks for your help

I went with ebony because it simply looks better with SSM. I did consider CG/quartz and SSM/quartz, but it was too light. I also noticed certain things like how the armrest on various test drives was already showing wear on quartz.

I agree with idx, Ebony is the way to go. You need a little contrast and I think the overall look is too light when you have SSM and Quartz together. I'm not saying it looks bad, it just doesn't look as nice as the ebony does IMO. I think that the ebony looks for more sporty and luxurious when compared to the quartz and/or tan. Something about the light perforated leathers doesn't look as nice to me?

I'd recommend getting the ebony interior (I did)
I wasn't too keen on the quartz interior with the dark dash/upper door trim and light everything else. I mean it still looks sharp, just wasn't my preference. Plus getting the SSM, I wanted a dark interior anyways to give it some contrast. This is my first car with leather interior, but I haven't had problems in keeping my car clean yet.

I bought the Ebony too. Prior to buying the TSX, I sat in TSX's with Quartz (light grey) and Ebony interiors. I thought that the Ebony's appearance would be easier to maintain over time.

I also like the dark interior because it reflects less. That said, however, I was surprised that in certain situations, I get reflections from the dashboard on the windshield. My previous Accords did not show many dashboard reflections, and their dashboards were dark brown or blue.

I also got a black steering wheel cover. Although the TSX's steering wheel rim looks nice, I was concerned about inevitable wear, tear, and sweat. I bought a $7 leather-like steering wheel rim cover at Targhetto (Target). It looks fine. I would rather replace a $7 cover in a few years than replace or have to restitch the original.

I've got Quartz interior on my CG, and I love it. But with SSM, I have to say the Ebony is probably the best way to go -- I'm a contrast kinda guy.

Ebony is nice. I have it on my Arctic Blue Pearl. as for SSM, it's still cool since everything at the windows and above are gray anyway..good two tone!

What kind of question is that? Ebony of course! Maybe I would get Quartz if I was getting Power Blue Silver Metallic instead.
