light colored interiors on 04's

To those with light colored interiors, do you wish you'd gotten black because of glare in direct sunlight?

My interior is frost and its color has never been a problem for me in direct sunlight. As for black, I felt that the color would be too hot in the summer.

Same here. I live in Arizona, black interior is not an option.

I preferred the more upscale look of the frost interior and don't like the heat generated by black in summer. It's very subjective...except the heat.

Correct... very subjective and a matter of personal preference.

IMO black interior has a rich, classy look. True it may not be practical for heat intensive climates, but that really has never been a significant issue here in CT.

That is a direct result of how it is cared for and maintained.

What part of CT? I grew up in Manchester. There is another person on the board from Manchester too... he used to live right down the street from me, funny how things work out.
