Texas CLers
Hello, I was wanting to hear what other owners feel about the black interior in hot climates. I love the look but think I might hate it in the 100+ summer days we regularly get in Austin. I bought a 03 white/tan recently, but I love the look of the silver, anthracite, blue, and even the black car, and most of these have black interior. I'm looking at a silver/black 03 now.
PS- I bought the white cause I thought used 03 CLs would be rare but I've seen 2 others in the last 2 weeks. I hate the heat, but the white is not as sporty looking. I know there are a few other Austinites on here. ..thanks.

I've had my white exterior black interior CL for over 3 years now.
I won't say it doesn't get hot inside in the summer, but its not that bad. I really think having the windows tinted makes a huge difference along with the white exterior.
I wouldn't let the temperature thing be the deciding factor... it's not that big of deal. It's not like the seats burn me when I sit on them in shorts in July.
Just tint the windows and park under a tree when you can.

I've got a black interior, and actually wanted it.
With the tint I have and the effectiveness of the A/C, it's never been a complaint.
Matter-of-fact, I've had people comment on how hot they expected it to be, but it wasn't.
Don't forget to use the windshield sun screen as well.

It honestly isn't a problem at all. I've had the CL-S in all Texas cities between Amarillo and San Antonio and have never had a problem with the black leather. Get a tint and if you have to park outside ALWAYS use a sun shade in the windshield.
I'd actually advise the black because it stays "clean"
