White cars

I'm on my third white car. It was the only colour on offer unless I wanted to pay an extra £650, so white it was!

I don't notice the dirt particularly. I get it washed when it becomes hard to avoid getting dirt on my clothes or shopping, and that would stand whatever the colour.

Black is the worst! I've had a couple, and they even show dust you know the sort that comes in when the wind is blowing from the Sahara (or something!)

Have whatever pleases you best, Nfk! smile

(Can't imagine ever having a brand new car!)

Ps, don't go for red (unless metallic) red is terrible for fading and going sort of "flat"

Just go for it! Plenty of car washes around!

Blast! We can have the white one next week, but otherwise will have to wait two or three months. I want it now!! (Stamps feet)

My daughter has had several white cars, and they always look filthy, but I always have black cars, and my car is always filthy as well

But then, we do live in a rural area, if you’re not splashing through muddy lanes you should be okay!

imho who cares if it is a great car at a good price.

We have a silver grey car that looks white from some angles. It seems to stay cleaner than our son's black car.
Thinking of all the cars we've owned, we've only had one other colour, green.

Silver cars stay clean looking. White cars show the dirt!

We're thinking of changing our car and seen one we like very much. But it's white. We've never had a white car before as it doesn't seem a sensible colour for messy people like us who are a bit lax when it comes to car cleaning.

But I knew someone who said his white car stayed cleaner than any other colour he'd had, but can this be true? Did he lie?

Does anyone have a white car and if so are they a pain to keep clean or no worse than any other colour?
