The two issues I had on my 2017 3lt:
1) The leather pulled way from the center defrost vent on top of the dash. Replaced under warranty.
2). Bubbling or big air pockets forming along side the HUD unit in front of the driver. Replaced under warranty.

I went through two dashes. finally got rid of it of a grand sport def not a 3lt this time. But if it does happen, here is who I called and how I fixed. I did the sun shade and garage kept on my second dash and it still happened. 2600 bucks later over two and half Years of dashes.

Look for a 2LT.

The only functional difference is that 3LT includes Nav/PDR, which you can add to 2LT as an option and still save about 3.5 thousand dollars while avoiding the dash problem.

I believe in 2014, the entire dash and a large section of the doors had the kalahari color...(see my 2014 interior above)... All 3LTs in the years to follow, had more black leather showing on the dash and doors.

The 3LT dash in a 2014 is absolutely gorgeous. Very high end BMW & Mercedes-like. I'd love to have one like that, they're so beautiful.

2014 Texas based 3LT. No issues.

...but I do use a window screen and crack the windows. No 150 degrees in my car.

My 2014 3LT dash looks like brand new. I couldn't be happier with the interior fit and finish.

Which is why I stick to black interiors, I do not like the mish-mash of colors in the new cars. Your interior however looks great. It is as it should be done.
