IMO beige is a tough colour to keep cleen - the fact that it's leather makes it a little easier

my wife's car has beige leather only because she wanted a black car - if we had the choice it would have been black leather also

I have a 6th gen with beige leather. Just use leather cleaner every now and again and a conditioner to keep it clean and in good nick. Doesnt get noticeably dirty but my front seats do look dirtier than my rears.

Black is usually a colour harder to keep clean than light ones, coz it shows everything.

I have a black euro with beige leather. It does get dirty easily in the long run, but I doubt it's a problem to clean. Or maybe it's the fact that I'm always wearing jeans. Good thing is that it doesn't absorb all the heat, and it's still ok to sit on after parking it under the sun for a while.

Also, for some unknown reason, you cannot choose leather colour. Black, white, ruby and indego blue comes with beige leather. The rest (silver, graphite, artic blue) comes with black. I would have so loved a black Euro with black leather. If leather is a real concern, get the graphite colour. It's close to black and you get the black leather.

That's what I did, I want the black euro, but since the inside is beige, I choose the graphite one :D

I had black leathers on my previous Accord and after 5 odd years of use it still looked good. The stitching can collect dust and look dirty and is a real bitch to clean. The only real problem I had is the drivers side lumbar where my arse would rub against as I got in and out of the car, the top colour eventually rubbed away revealing a rather grey/beige leather backing.

well they both get dirty after a while... black is probarbly less visible for dark marks.... i think just stick with the standard colour which comes with the car....

...unfortunately unless you know the right ppl you get choice of colours of the leather in the euro . but even if you have the black leather seats , the trims will still be beige ->ugly

Did any of you guys with leather get the dealer recommended treatment? If so, do you think that it's made any difference?

We got the beige leather (without treatment) but use the Meguires cleaner and treatment all-in-one. What are others using?
