I prefer the lighter look and feel it makes it more airy. I do fully expect to be cleaning / protecting it more often. No pain no gain!

From experience so far (Amber which is very light too) the most leather cleaning is on driver bolsters, kids areas have next to no leather mess (only where adult hands fumble around seat belt locks) just hoovering - mine are in child seats. I think black is probably worse with kids as it will show every crumb which is the most common child mess.

(Re the house/stonework: although the house is about 20 years old, the stone is well over 100 years old. It was reclaimed from an old brewery that was being demolished. Each piece of stone is incredibly dense and extremely heavy. Extra deep foundations were required.)

Interesting, I think we may pass each other a few times when I get mine as I am in between Huddersfield and Wakefield in a village with a house built from York stone.
Which dealer did you buy from.

Your house reminds me of a farmhouse that I used to stay in at Diggle and a friends house in Netherthong.

I'd heard some good things about the Hudders dealer but as Wakky is much closer I went there. What about you?

I have friends who used to live in Thurstonland, not far from Netherthong. Been there often.

I am in Denby Dale, bought from the Huddersfield dealer as he matched best deal, got me a car for a day and was pretty honest. pleased that it was the local dealer.
Did go to Wakefield one after just to check something out. I was surprised on the condition of the dealership in Wakefield though as they have little space.
Great if you have heard good things about the dealers in Huddersfield as I know nothing about them so I wanted to understand what their service is like if I have an issue (I was going to say when but hope not).

Nice area, nearly bought a house in Netherthong. Interesting name.

Illuminated door handles with ground lighting. Awesome. Not mentioned anywhere as far as I know.

I tried taking pics of the interior with ambient lighting on but they didn't turn out very well because of nearby street lighting. I'll try again another time.
