Aftering having owned a brilliant black Audi TT for the past 9 years, I swore I'd never go black again. I had a friend that warned me about black cars. I admit they look the best when they are cleaned and polished but the amount of work that it takes caring for one is just unbelievable. Maybe it's a Florida thing, but I found when the car was even slightly dirty and then it rained lightly and the sun came out and full force that water spots burned into the paint. No amount of wax ( I was religious with the Zaino) protected the finish from this. Also swirl marks and scratches show up the most on a black car. NOW having said that... I understand the appeal! Black looks the most aggressive and has the most shine. If you are the kind of person that meticulously cares for your car, get a black one. It's worth doing at least once in your life.
