any fans of the graystone interior? looking at a '13 model graphite exterior. had ebony interior on my 3rd gen but wanting to try something different. just curious if anyone has the graystone and enjoy it?

 

not my favorite, challenge to keep clean

 

I have the navy with grey interior and it looks great new. The fronts take a beating. I have Coverking spacer mesh covers because the kids use the back of the seats to prop themselves up. It also seems a bit cooler in the summer with the seat covers. Personally, I like the umber color as an interior. I got my car used so I can't complain.

BMW has a similar color combo as well.

 

is it similAr to the taupe color in the '12 models? i drove one of those and liked it. not sure about graystone tho. looks white to me

 

The grey will start to look like taupe when it starts to age. It is similar and makes the interior a larger because the color is really light compared to black leather seats.

 

I have had the Taupe interior (which is even lighter than the greystone) for 5 years and it still looks great, but we have worked at keeping them that way. The seats have been conditioned since the day we picked it up from the dealer and every 6 months the carpets get a coating of scotchguard . IMO regular cleaning and especially conditioning is the key to keeping the seats looking new. Yeah they have some creases on them but they're 5 years old.

Also, I have picked up a couple of light beige / off white pillow cases that we sit on anytime we have jeans on to help prevent dye transfer. Yeah, it may sound crazy but this is the easiest way that I found to prevent dye transfer.

 

gotcha. i was thinking the taupe was slightly darker but ive never seen graystone in person. the car in question is out of state im considering going and taking a look at it this weekend. i would go to the nearest acura and just check out the graystone but cannot atand dealing with car dealerships lol
