Ash leather interior

I’m considering the ash leather interior, but have heard some people complain of an annoying reflection of the dashboard in the windshield to the point of being annoying while you drive. Anyone with an ash interior, do you see this reflection and is it a real problem?

I prefer the ash over the charcoal because I find the charcoal too dark. I know that ash is more difficult to keep clean, but I don’t have any kids or dogs in the car to get it dirty.

Thanks!
Michele

Get a designo

I personaly like the designo if you are looking into better material for the car becuase i have heard a lot of complaints about the regular non designo and there is a lot of plastic.

I have ash in my 2001 S600. Never a reflection problem. The dark designo is still a plastic dash...the light designo is a leather dash as in 600....but it's an ugly yellow.

IMHO I find Charcoal a little dark and not a very good contrast to the walnut.

My favourite is Stone as it looks very elegant and light.
