Living in the USA until later this year I have only the on-line brochure to look at! I like the dark grey metallic colours but don't fancy a funereal black interior. How does the beige interior look with the silver or grey metallics?

Beige looks great with the Black Octavia - cant vouch for the other colours as I havent seen one.

Stone grey with beige here: http://www.whatcar.com/RoadTest_Gallery.asp?DL=0&RT=207744

Stone grey is darker than it appears here but is still a slightly bluish grey. I ordered my car with this combination, although my dealer (and probably many others) think I'm strange. Graphite is a good colour with beige as well although it needs to be kept very clean to look good

Yes - I can speak from experience that the beige cloth is a nightmare to keep clean. I would advise going for beige leather if you really don't want the black.
