I've had white, red, silver, blue, yellow and green cars in the past.

Nothing looks as good as the VW DBP on a GTI when clean. Sets of the red lines beautifully and is quite discrete, not as shouty as red or white.

If you can't be bothered looking after it then don't choose Pearl Black.

My third black GTI in a row so maybe I am biased.

Very personal choice as always.

The majority of my cars have been white, long before the recent craze, but I've also had silver, blue, and black.  Depending on the car, I would agree that a well-maintained black generally looks fantastic, especially a GTI with the red accents.  While it's not like I can't be bothered to look after my car, a cleaned black doesn't stay looking so great for long, and it takes much longer to wash because you have to dry it properly to avoid white marks.

I'd agree that red can be a bit shouty as it's quite bright, but I think white just looks classy, understated, and also shows off the red accents well.  All personal choice as you say though!

Edit: Hawaii-Five-O, take a look at the photos in white here, and you'll know you made the right choice! ;)
