Nothing is nicer than a clean black car, so only buy black if you have a garage to park it in. Parking it outside its a b#tch to keep clean.

Black looks great when it is clean and polished. Unfortunately dive it one block or let it sit for an hour in your driveway and you can see the dust and dirt. Black shows dirt and dings more than any other color. I owned one black car and never will again!

Go with Candy Red, it's a great color that really jumps out in bright sunshine.

I also owned black and will never go back. Way too much trouble to keep clean. I am a red man now.

I think the red is better because the rear doesn't appear that big because it contrasts with the black moulding on the bottom. Ditto for any dark color. Black car, you wind up with a big black rear. Black cars are temperature hotter. Be ready to keep it clean more often.

Black. How boring. DCAR with stripes. Maybe silver would look good also.

black is alot more work, and even after all the work, it gets dirty fast. But when a black car is clean and shiny, no other color in the world compares. Unless it's Ferrari red, on a Ferrari. My black car is a garage queen, only driven on sunny days, and it's still labor intensive. But I wouldn't trade it for any other color.
