    That does look like a well spec'd car in a nice colour. Although I'm a bit dubious about that seat colour in an SUV. Once the little kids are in the back with their sweeties and ice creams, it won't stay that colour for long. :D

    You’d be surprised. I have ivory leather and it stays reasonably clean, I have owned the car two years with nothing more than a wipe down every so often and an annual clean.

    What do you find the best leather cleaner? Gliptone?

    It's was/is a great car, I bought it as a pre-reg and fell lucky with the spec. I also loved the colour to the extent my current car is a similar grey.

    I agree with @kleynie the seats are pretty robust and relatively easy to keep clean. For the three years we had it our dog (a large standard poodle - who has a particular affinity for mud :LOL:) was a regular back seat passenger ánd although we had a 'hammock cover' the dirt got underneath, on the seat bolsters and headrests. I used wet wipes most of the time and the occasional bit of elbow grease with the cleaner my wife buys for our settee and they were fine.
