Yeah, not worried about that, though dying of heat stroke does concern me! No remote starter, but I would make DH be my remote starter if we get this one. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711996 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:14:40 +0000 daniellemybelle 711996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: Thanks for your advice. I'm feeling like we should hold off, but its tough because we are down to one car and DH is really super ready to get a new one, like now.</p> <p>@boiledpnut: Not really into tinted windows... :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711993 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:13:49 +0000 mrs. bird 711993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've had black leather in my past two cars &amp; now have tan leather, the tan leather still gets hot, but not as hot at the black did. i think black on black is a nice looking color combo, but i have this slightly irrational thought that i'm going to die in a car accident someday and according to 'the doctors' you're most likely to die in a black car, so now i won't buy one, haha, i'm crazy like that! does it have a remote starter? because if it does then you can just start it so the AC comes on before you get in the car &amp; it won't be as big of a deal.</p> <p>ETA: i would never buy a car with cloth seats for diving LOs, so much easier to clean leather! and i agree, the tinted windows help a ton &amp; keep little eyes happier =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711991 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:13:48 +0000 LindsayInNY 711991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer leather because it's easier to clean - no worries about a LO spilling food/drink, peeing pants, etc.</p> <p>In the summer, I just leave a towel over the seat so I can sit comfortable (I remove the towel when I sit). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711987 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:12:28 +0000 boiledpnut 711987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: Heck yeah! I even got the ceiling fan put in!</p> <p>omg, I'm dying laughing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711982 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:11:05 +0000 mrsmenow 711982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: You pimped your ride didn't you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711978 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:10:06 +0000 boiledpnut 711978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tinted windows will help a ton with this if you aren't opposed to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711971 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:09:05 +0000 mlm2934 711971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: that's true about cleaning. When DH had leather I whined about being cold in winter and hot in summer - I'm a bit of a baby I guess haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711970 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:08:25 +0000 mrsmenow 711970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had black leather in Wisconsin and it did get hot, so Ican;t even really imagine how hot it would get there (depending on where you park). If you aren't set I would hold off until you are sure, I bought my SUV after looking forever and feeling like I needed to make a decision and looking back I wish I would have gotten a better deal/maybe something different.</p> <p>ETA: I have lighter leather now and I do think the car stays a little cooler than the black. I much prefer leather than cloth with kids. The spills, dirty shoes rubbing on the back of seats... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711963 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:06:27 +0000 daniellemybelle 711963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I want leather only because it is so much easier to clean with little ones. I know it will get hot either way but thinking lighter leather would be much better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711962 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:06:13 +0000 jetsa 711962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have black on black in Southern Illinois, so I don't think too much different than TN, and while yes hot, all leather gets hot. I do not think its too much of a difference due to color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711957 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:04:33 +0000 mlm2934 711957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really think its a personal preference and how long you are willing to keep looking, I'm here in TN too and it WILL get HOT. Personally I don't get the excitement over leather seats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711956 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:04:12 +0000 sslm 711956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm. I have a black on black car, but the seats aren't leather. I don't find it shows dirt too bad. I'm not sure about the hot seats though!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-poll-should-we-get-this-car#post-711947 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:00:54 +0000 daniellemybelle 711947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My car died last week, and we need to get a new one to replace it rather quickly. For the past week, DH &amp; I have been sharing his car. We want to get a family vehicle we can grow into, and we settled on a make and model (used). We looked at a few, but the only one that has all the options/trim that I want (automatic rear lift gate, back up camera, leather seats, etc.) is black on black.</p> <p>I'm a little hesitant to get a black on black car because I think the exterior will get dirty quickly (smaller concern) but more importantly I think black leather will get REALLY hot in Tennessee in the summer. DH says all leather gets hot anyway, but I think he is anxious to get me a new car.</p> <p>What do you think? Spring for this one or wait to find the perfect one? </p>
