In '09 Forester Subaru marketing studies (which you can find by surfing around Youtube), the Subaru folk surveyed interior colors and ( per comments from customers ) chose the Grey color to help hide dirt, and got rid of the beige color because it tended to show dirt. Fortunately there seems to be some warmth to the Subaru Grey.
 
Fyi my former Malibu Maxx had beige interior, and was very hard to keep clean. Its grey interior option was downright ugly.

09 LLBean Camella Red 2.5x by birdboy

I have had my 09 for several weeks now. I have applied static cling window tint to the sunroof as it is not tinted enough and lets too much sun in. I am not happy with several things thus far. One is the radio display. On my upgraded radio with subwoofer, the display screen seems to be a bit clouded. It just does not seem clear. I have looked at other several radios and observed the same. Is this a defect or design flaw? Does anyone else have this unclear screen? Thanks for any comments.

Does it have a protective plastic film that's suppose to be removed?

My display seems fine to me.
 
While we're on the subject of the audio system, the manual implies that, if you push the "Text" button in the upper right, the system will display the album/track/artist titles for CD's, but all I get in the display is "No Title". It's not the CD, because I've tried several of them.
 
Has anybody seen their system display CD information?

I just wanted to tell you all that we got a 2009 2.5x premium sage green with pzev last night. We finally decided and got the car and it was great driving it back home.
 
We had an awesome experience at Matt Slap Subaru in Newark, Delaware and if you are close by the area I would suggest looking at their pricing by calling for the internet pricing.
 
Also, I had a question about a blue light that is right next to the two front overhead lights and the glasses compartment. Does anyone know what the blue light is? I looked in the manual but it wasn't covered. I'm thinking that it's the security system.
 
Thanks again for all your help.

Your CD has to have this information, referred to as "CD Text," encoded in it for the CD player to display it. Older CDs won't have this information. CDs you burn yourself can be set up with this information if your software allows it. I don't know how many commercial CDs have CD Text information. You might want to Google this topic, since I don't know more about it than that.

We just got our car yesterday but it seemed to me that the moonroof light was reflecting on the audio display making it hard to read. A note though, I do not think we have taken the film off yet if that is going to help. I was thinking of getting a little piece of tint or something to tint to to be readable in great days of sunshine.
 
Hope this helps.

The tan interior would probably have held up better in leather than cloth, but I was already at the top of my price range and didn't want to spend the extra money.
 
The '96 Taurus SHO I replaced had a tan interior and leather seats and after 10 years and 108k miles it looked good. Some worn spots, but no staining to speak of.
 
The Subie's carpet seems to hold on to stains more than my Ford did.

The blue light on the upper console seems to be "accent lighting" and so far has proved of little use.
 
The Security indicator is in the instrument console - you will see a light flashing in various ways when the car is parked and no one is inside.
