Yep, love it. BRGII MCS, polar beige leather/colorline, chrome, and english oak dash - awesome - interior looks like Jag (well almost).

BTW Tina, sorry, I don't have pics. When you do see pics though, the color looks lighter than it actually is in person. I've heard several people refer to it as "white." It is actually a light beige and looks great with dark exterior colors.

I had a VW Eos with "corn silk" leather. Seats picked up color from everything that touched them. In the olden days, car leather had a "hard" smooth finish that was easy to clean - that's why you see all those big ol' red convertibles with white interiors. Now days, we've gone to a soft finish that's harder to keep clean. I went with the black - even though I would have preferred the chocolate (no choice). If you are up to it, go for it.

I have polar beige interior with white paint and black roof. Ordered it last summer and got it in January. I do a lot of mountain biking where I drive home dirty and the polar beige has held up beautifully...cleans right up. You won't regret it and it stays cool in the summer.

I bought my car at the end of January. The dealer had an Absolute Black with the Polar Beige interior that had been ordered for the Wall Street showroom. I was really apprehensive about the Polar Beige...but the car had all of the other goodies that I wanted, so I snapped it up. No regrets

Polar Beige is holding up well for me as well. 9,600 miles since January. I have a leather cleaner and haven't had to use it yet.

When I order my '12 in a year this will be the combo.

Excellent choice!!! that exactly the same as my Countryman - White/Black roof, 5 seats in Polar Beige, Interior World Carbon Black/Colour Line Polar Beige. Will pick it up in two days' time, just can't wait to see its!!..will upload the pics soon as I've seen it

PS. My feeling is, if the Interior is Polar Beige will get dirty quite FAST!! as I tend to rest my arm on it!
