Sahara Interior - How are they holding up?
For those of you with Sahara that have had your cars for awhile, how is the interior holding up?
Any staining, discoloration, other unusual signs of wear?

fwiw, I had Sahara on an E350 (sold it last year.) Blue jeans stains all the time, but it did clean off (and yes, it was optional leather and not MBTex.)
Went back to good old black with the 2009 E63.
No stains, plus beige looks too feminine and Palm Springs Frank Sinatra-like on a Mercedes, imho.

The only time I would settle for a beige interior would be on a Ferrari.

Very slight sign of wear on the side bolster of the driver's chair, otherwise I like it a lot. Makes the interior look more airy and luxurious. That said I'll be getting black on my next car just to cut down on the time I've spent on the maintenance of this light interior.

I bought my car as a second, prize car, so i don't plan on getting it dirty, nor would i ever buy an option on a car with the idea of how well it would stay clean. i'm such a clean freak about my car, I actaully enjoy cleaning mine. My garage has a surround sound flat screen tv. I clean with movies, football, hockey or baseball, or anything else on, and I hate to admit it, but I love doing it.
So, no silver cars with black seats so they stay clean for me. I went black (no obsidian either) with near white seats, and i look foward to keeping it pristine while watching the phillies win another championship this summer- hiyyyyoooooooooo.!

I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one that enjoys detailling my car.
Got to get one off those garage flat screen tough.
IMO the sahara beige interior looks more EURO supercar plus nice contrast too.
It makes the seats stand out much more IMO.
I didn't tint my windows so that you can see the seats and interior better from the outside.
Plus way cooler in summer sun, cooler meaning you don't burn you behind.

No issues other than the obvious already stated issues about dirt shows more and it needs to be clean more often. I believe those issues are minor versus the obvious gorgeous looking interior.

I LOVE my Sahara interior.
As some said, slight staining from jeans, but cleans off fine. Just beautiful and especially with the "small" interior of the C-series, it does make it feel bigger inside. To me, the contract of black on Sahara is stunning.
