A-Spec Red Leather Seats - Durability?
Hey everyone - I was thinking of upgrading to a 2019 A-Spec and was wondering if I should expect any issues if I went with the red leather interior (I've only driven cars with black interiors up to now)? I know in general, lighter leather colours will show dirt and stains more over time but how about fading from sunlight and natural wear in the driver's seat? I also truck my little nephews and nieces around on the occasional weekend.

It will be a bit tricky with the suede inserts on the seats and on the dash. I would not want to rub regular leather dressing onto this. You can get suede cleaner/dressing for the inserts.
