Ok, you are looking at the 1.8 so you can't have the leather, but if it's leatherette it's kinda the same, just not as fluffy :-)<p>I think the ecru interior gives a nice contrast to the Santorin exterior, plus makes it look roomier. Your mileage may vary, and it's ultimately your personal taste. If you can't decide because you love them all the same, get something that's available at the dealer next door :-)<p>- Stan<ul><li><a href="http://rescomp.stanford.edu/~stanj/Audi/Images/index.html">Santorin / Ecru pics</a></li></ul>

just took delivery of 99.5 Santorin w/opal(gray)cloth interior w/sport seats. Love the combo--and i think i'll be especially happy when summer arrives and i don't have to bake in a black interior! only nitpicks--wish the steering wheel wasn't same color--would look much better in black IMHO--and not crazy for the golf ball shift knob. already ordered an abt aluminum replacement. Happy hunting!

From my experience, black is a royal PITA to keep looking good; on anything but a perfectly clean & waxed car, looks poor. Go with the blue.<br>
