Sand beige and windshield reflection

I have a 2013 Boxster---actually my SECOND 2013 Boxster which I traded in after 6 weeks of ownership because of the windshield glare from my beige dashboard. VERY EXPENSIVE to do that, but I couldn't see properly and I thought it was (and is) a safety issue.
Anyone interested in joining in on some legal action to force Porsche to stop making the light color dashboards like almost every other car manufacturer out there?

+1. Polarized sunglasses are the perfect cure for sand beige which I also have. In fact my wife gave me a pair of Porsche Sunglasses for Christmas last year but I never wear them because they do not polarized lenses.

My interior is natural brown (beige). No problems with reflections or glare. The white 991S I test drove last April had a beige interior too - didn't note any reflection/glare problems there either.

I have a sand beige interior in two of my cars both cabs and only notice at certain times, definitely not bothersome and love the color (one full leather, one not). There are way more annoying things that occur while driving, ie slow poke in the fast lane, last second mergers, pot holes ect. Besides as mentioned above polarized sunglasses work. Another thing, I had a home once that every time I pulled out of the garage the sun would shine in my face (not in these cars) but I never thought to sue the contractor who built the thing. Think I have a case?

Windshield Glare
I'm very serious.
You have the glare---every light dash on the Porsches have it. It is a combination of the angle of the glass and the light color. My Jag and Lexus both have light color interiors (Black cars) and a BLACK dash---other manufacturers do the same thing. Porsche just ignores the issue.
Now you'll see it and it will probably drive you crazy. Sorry---
Polarized glasses do help BUT you can't wear polarized glasses at night or in the rain.

I really like sand beige. I didn't notice any issues in 997s I test drove with sb. Of course here in Chicago we get 57 sunny days per year.
Prefer sb over black and would deal with any added glare. Such glare would be common to all cars with light colored interiors.
Maybe the OP has only had black interiors.

I do not like the sand beige at all, the Natural Brown is my favorite of the browns. That said I prefer Black, Red, and even Blue over brown in a 911. Save the brown for a Luxury vehicle.
If it does have glare it would drive me nuts, I can tell you that.
Just my 2 cents
