Zeal...colors looks great, the sand interior really looks good. Any comments on how hard or easy it is to keep clean?

Sorry for some reason some of my posts are coming up blank but I don't think I am the only one it is happening to.
No, the server is in the middle of an update and things are currently goofed up.

Anyone with a picture of the Stormy Blue?
So true! Looking at these images I almost regret having "all black" interior, although I do like red stitching on black leather
Cheers,
Miki

It does look cool in sand. But no regrets on all black, after a few years the black will age better without as much care.
tgh262 - how exciting, you can join the Zeal/sand club soon! Seriously it is exciting awaitiing arrival of a new car.
zoomzoom_cx9 - I have noticed already that my black clothes are leaving an ever so slight colouration (when I peer closely), but I have bought a leather cleaning/conditioning kit and will update here with upkeep. I love the look so much I am prepared to do the work (famous last words!!!!)
CX-SV - it does have that luxury look, I saw a Range Rover with it the other day.
(wow)

i've had my vehicle for over a month now and have been lurking the forums for months. before i decided on this vehicle, i've been contemplating for over two years on ones in this class of compact suv, like the rav 4 and the tiguan but was very unhappy with the cons including mpg.
when the cx-5 was announced, i searched all over the internet and seen many youtube reviews before making a final decision. i weighed the seeming pros and cons. the only thing that stood out as a notable con to me was the horsepower per weight, but everything else seemed to be a plus -from the choice of black fabric seats with a moonroof package(tiguans force you to get leather at the local dealerships) to the regular tires(rav 4s have either runflat tires or a regular hump in the back that blocks part of the rear view) to the competitive base price and the overall look. i love black but i decided upon a silver exterior because it would be less attracted to heat in daytime desert driving.
i call it puddlejumper because in a way it reminds me of the gateships in stargate atlantis. it's my vehicle portal to any place i need to go.
it still needs a wash. it's been to vegas and back and all across town. i'm just saving up for detailing stuff to do it right without introducing swirls.
average mpg to vegas was 37 mpg driving at night.
here's pics from earlier today

And what do you think of your Puddle Jumper's (love that!) power now that you've owned it for awhile? Knowing what you know now, would you buy it again?
And congrats... she's beautiful!

thank you all
considering i needed a new vehicle as soon as possible, it was my time to purchase something. i wold buy it again considering what's out there in the market and all the research and decision making i've done. however, if i could've waited for the next reiteration i would have.
for light driving it's excellent. i now focus more on the avg mpg gauge.
however, in the bigger picture, the power isn't quite to my liking. the reason isn't for racing or necessarily about everyday city driving use; but rather from a utility aspect in the face of the steep grades commuting to vegas & other places, and with the potential to someday have the ability to haul a motorcycle with less struggle up such inclines. it's nice to have the ability when the time comes to haul and have responsiveness when the ground isn't necessarily at level. (that's in addition to catching up to freeway speeds when there isn't any traffic & more maneuverability in the face of aggressive drivers in the slow lane because they think they can avoid being spotted for tickets or whatever.)
despite that, it's fun to drive and i love all the interior space i never had before in my former vehicle.
