Black or Red interior on White... ughhhhh

[S2KGuy]

I know this ends up being personal preference but I'm having a hard time deciding on the black or red interior with a white car. Anybody got any random pros/cons or other insights? I like the red because it seems like the classic complimentary Honda color with the white exterior, but am worried it might be a little too much with the entire back seat being solid red and things like the center console cover being red. Black seems like my standard choice and it has the red details, but it also might not seem as "special".... but maybe I'd get tired of the red all the time... ughhh.....

I'm not a fan of red interiors but the one in the ITS is tolerable. If you find a great deal or better availability on one with red vs black, it likely won't impact your enjoyment too much even if it's not your first choice.

Unless you have a wife like mine who will straight veto a red interior.

Haha... I get a white interior veto over here.

I'm ordering the car so I can pick either color... the struggle is real.

I had the red interior on my White A-Spec + Tech and loved it, then the black interior in my black ITS and it was ok--the "better" color is subjective, but I felt the red interior was easier to keep looking clean. The black interior may end up being more timeless, but it's hard to say.

the entire back seat being solid red and things like the center console cover being red.

I love the red interior. I had the same concern about the entire back seat being red. But you don't see it when sitting in the driver's seat and hasn't felt like too much in my short 1900 miles.

I have whtite/red combo and I personally think it looks good since it's a two tone combination. However, as you mention red is probably not for everyone and if you want to play safe, white/black combo especially if you're planning to resell it in the future.

That's funny... I was actually thinking the opposite in that maybe I should get red because it will be the more desirable combo when I go to resell it.... hmmmm

I have a White/Red ITS, because I got tired of having all black interiors. I wanted a splash of color, but as you say, it's personal preference. I like that the red brake calipers tie in with the red interior.

I have White and Red. Would've really liked blue and red but that combo doesn't exist.

I have the white and red combo and I think it is the way to go. I felt like the black interior would have been too toned down.

I think the red interior is just a bit more special. Black is just a sea of black. That being said, if I had a red or blue ITS, I would want the black interior. With the Gray, white or black car, the red interior works best. IMO of course

I have the red interior in my ASpec Tech. When I first started researching the car I was like “I don’t know about this” but the more I saw it the more I thought it makes this car unique and special. Gives it a sporty unique feel.

Of course mine is ultimately going to a teenager later this year so…

I went through this as well.
I started out hating the red so for me it was either Orchid or ebony.
Then I saw the ebony with the red contrast stitching, and I was sold.
I love the interior in ebony and how they took the stitching through the whole car, and in the steering wheel and shifter boot.
The Orchid is ok, but to me, not white enough so, ebony for me, plus as I said, the red contrast stitching to me looks great.
The red would be better if they used black contrast stitching, but they didn't, they used red there too and you can't even see it.

I got the white ITS with red interior. Cant ever go wrong with a white, black, and red color combo.

I saw a white ITS with red interior at a dealership. For me, the front looked OK and I could live with it - but the all red back area was too much. Still in line, but pretty sure I'll wait for all black interior. Am having more trouble deciding on exterior color. My present GTI is white, which I like - but not sure I want another white car right now. Even when a bit dirty, white still looks nice. Both blue and red look good in photos, but haven't' actually seen either one yet. Anyone with red exterior care to comment??
