My present car, which isn't a Z, has black leather and while it's held up rather well it gets very hot in the summer months. It's enough to make me reluctant to do black leather again. I know this isn't answering your question, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

My car arrived at the dealers with a black interior (Pearl white). My wife said the black interior felt too much like a cave, and vetoed the purchase. So the dealer swapped interiors with another (blue) Z that had the Frost, so now it's Pearl/w.gray interior. Much more comfortable on hot hot days!

So far (only 3 months) have not had any problems with dirt or cleanliness.

i have had mine only out a few times sitting in direct sun and i notice that it really wasn't that hot with my z having been tinted(35%) on the sides. my concern is this winter siting my asss on the cold leather seat. i know the seats are heated, but still

The dealer swapped the entire interior? For real? LOL, another case for ordering and not buying off the lot.

Buy a remote starter kit!

The Alcantra is nice & snuggly in the cold. We've already had a couple of hard freezes and the seat heaters are getting a workout.

Note: The stock tires get really hard below about 40 degrees, which can lead to some lurid slides (don't ask me how I know this). Last weekend I fitted snow tires on base wheels and put away the sport wheels for the winter. Now the car feels really "loose" as you might expect with all that squishy rubber, but at least I have traction.

Not really a biggie. Door panels & seats. Took 'em a couple of hours.

We really were hoping for the Persimmon interior (orange), but they didn't have any available, nor coming in soon. We were hot to drive, so we settled for the Gray. Not sorry, it does look very classy with the Pearl White.

Yeah, I get that too. I'm from Ohio. When I say "our car" it comes out "Aar car" so I take a lot of sh*t

Connecticut has tons of narrow winding back-country roads that are super-fun with the Z. Two weeks ago I drove east-to-west across the state, from Rhode Island (where the leaves were at peak color). All back roads and not a cop in sight. Bliss! The Z is waaay more fun on these kinds of roads than the latest Corvette that I test drove.

Litchfield County FTW!

I have a PG Z with Frost interior. I have had zero problems with it thus far. I marked up the drivers seat pretty good, but everything wiped off with little effort. The frost int. looks great imo. It really pops when you open the doors to get in. The dark window tint goes great with it too.
