Agree with the black car.

My MK5 is black and is a nightmare to keep clean, not buying a black car again after the MK5. But as you also said it looks orgasmic after you clean it (for about 2 hours).

I totally agree! i've got a steel grey mk5 now and find it easy to look after and had a silver Corsa (sshhh) before that and that was easy too, I think it's down to grey or silver tbh, i like the way the rear lights contrast on the grey and it looks lovely when you take the time to wax it properly but i've had grey for the last 2.5 years so i don't know if i just fancy a change?

My Dad said something along those lines. He had a silver Bora for the last four years, ordered a Jetta in black 'for a change' and is now having some regrets!

As a lifelong user of "gypsy" car washes... I'm actually enjoying looking after my black car

Perhaps this is still the honeymoon phase, but the joy from seeing that deep deep shine is worth it.

I own a couple of silver GTIs  and to me its the colour that hides the dirt very well.
I did really like the mk6 GTI silver 5 door one i got to see with the 17s on and nearly ordered that colour myself but my last car was silver and i own 2 other silver GTIs so i thought i needed a change.
Mind if i was ordering again i think i may have gone for red, i don't normally like red cars but the more red mk6 golfs i see on the street the more i like that colour on them.

I bought a silver SAAB 9-5 back in 2001 with a beige leather interior and at the time it looked the bee’s knees. At the time it looked different, but now every second car seems to be silver, where is the exclusivity?

These days I think white is the new silver or could it be the carbon grey?

Fashion goes round in circles and a lot of new car buyers now seem to be going for solid colors rather than metallic.

We ordered the GTI in Tornado Red, why, because red and GTI (IMO) go hand in hand.

^As does silver as it too is the other one of the two original GTI colours of the mk1 when it was first released .

Yeah I know, but these days when you look in a Supermarket car park, I bet you the majority of the cars will be silver. In a couple of years time who knows, possibly white?
