Brown leather

[craigjm]

Has anyone got a car with brown leather? is the steering wheel brown? would be interested in seeing some pics of the dashboard and seats if anyone has one and their opinion on whether they would spec it again

[Subculture]

The steering wheel is indeed brown. Otherwise, to me the brown interior looks just fine.

For me it goes too far. Brown steering wheel and dash.

The old tan interior is much much nicer. Real shame they didn’t stick with it.

There are some pretty good images on the adverts for new GTs on Autotrader.

I had one with Thunder grey on the outside and brown inside. I liked it, went well with blue stitching.

The brown leather looks much better judged in reality than on pictures. It is actually quite a bit darker than you would think.
It's very smart with Thunder Grey and Abysse Bleu.

Yeah that’s what I thought. Guess I need to ring a couple of dealers and see who has one

Here's one in brown.

I have to say that when one of these parked next to my new Abarth 695 Competizione, it peaked an interest.

I love my Abarth but thanks to our crappy roads I seem to either spend my time swerving potholes or just getting pummelled by bad surfaces, even on the M25.

What are the Alpines like? in this respect.

I'm surprised to see that the stalks and even the remote stereo pod are straight out of my old '95 Mégane coupe, and also seen on my '21 Dacia Duster

The standard model manages the lumps and bumps of British roads well: reviews describe it as floating over the bumps, although that might give the incorrect impression that it isn't connected to the road, which it is. I can't comment on the S or R versions because I haven't driven them: but they are stiffer.

Yes, the stereo controls are an old friend; most of us balance the parts-bin look against tried and trusted technology. The good news is that you can't see it when you're driving!

As mentioned above the standard car and GT ride the crappy roads really well. I previously had an S and whilst this was better planted in the faster bends I now prefer my GT due to the poor condition of the roads.

Still find myself looking at these and am definitely a fan of the brown interior over the black. But had to google the tan interior as had never seen it before. Prefer that even more, was this a UK option? Do they ever come up as blue and tan would look fantastic, to me at least.

The tan interior ("Amber Brown") was limited to the Legende GT 2021 and 2022 special editions.

[croyde]

I like that. Much better than everything brown.

[craigjm]

Yeah that looks much better than the current everything brown. Shame its not an option

I always like a car with seats a different colour to the interior.

A few years ago I was looking at Giulia Veloces and the all dark interiors didn't do it any favours.

The rare one with tan seats turned it into something much classier.

[Colin P]

Agree the 2021/22 GT was lovely. Even the silver is nice.

I was torn when buying as basically there were 2 21/22 GTs available. One didn't cut it condition wise., the other was a 2.5 year old car which was only a couple of grand less than the brand new facelifted stock car which I bought and the new one was also a slightly higher spec!!

My head won that decision. The tan interior is wonderful though.

I had a Guilia Veloce for 12 months, I solved that issue with the pano roof. Certainly helped lift the dark interior.

Single colour interiors don’t do any cars any favours. The single colour Porsche interiors are awful but the ones that are combined with black look great.

It is a shame with the A110 that there are not a couple more options but I guess that’s part of what keeps the price down

When i test drove it, I thought the brown leather would not be something I could live with but having bought the car and have lived with it for over a year, I really like it. I wouldn't say it was subtle but its certainly not "too much" either.
