I was did not like the black and was leaning towards the Moonstone but this one with beige became available. 2 miles originally and my 7 mile test drive. 9 miles at delivery.
Mine's a contract hire, but I had no choice on interior colour scheme; take-it-or-leave-it black fabric! Happily for me that's perfectly acceptable.
Moonstone isn't available in Canada and Harvest Beige is only available if you take the top Technology model with the Advanced Package and order Blizzard Pearl or Hypersonic Red (Red only for 2016). So basically if you see a beige interior in a red or white Gen 4 with Canadian plates, it's the fully loaded model. Otherwise, it's black only.
I once had a Rover 418 and a Rover 75 with the beige interiors. The first was cloth fabric and easily marked, but the 75 was leather and cleaned up easily.
I was torn 50/50 between silver or sea glass. What it came down to for me was that the only car available of the two in my area with black interior was silver. Had there been a sea glass / black int car locally, my choice would have been difficult. I test drove a car with the lighter interior and didn't like the bright moonstone dash. Also, with an 8 year old kiddo on board, black cloth wears better than lighter colors in my experience. Love the sea glass, though. I see a lot of last-gen Prii in my city in sea glass. My folks have a 2015 in sea glass with the solar roof, it is a very nice looking car.
Am I the only one to truly hate the sea-glass pearl color? I actually waited for about three weeks just to avoid buying sea-glass pearl. I finally bought classic silver exterior with moonstone interior. I would definitely would prefer black interior. I went for silver as my previous car (Honda Accord) was silver and I liked it. However, in retrospect, I don't like the silver color on the Prius. I should have gone for Gray or Blue. But, as Shakespeare said a Prius in any color would give as great mileage as in your favorite color.
Looking to buy a 2018 prius 2 in NY and wondering what a good OTD price should be before taxes. Tks much.
I have a 2018 Two, but I'm not in your region, so my experience probably doesn't apply. I paid about $25k. I would suspect they cost a bit more in your area, since Prii are so great in traffic and since there's so much there.
