Hey guys, im in the market for a newer s2000 and I sort of regret buying a berlina black because I cant find alot of time to wash it and it usually ends up looking really bad. I found a great deal on a beautiful white 07 but I dont want another color that I have to wash twice a week to just get looking decent. Is white a little easier to keep clean? Discuss.

Get silver, prob your best bet and they look real nice too! But I would imagine white would "look" cleaner but still get way dirty just as quick as a berlina. Basically everything on black shows up white, and everything on white shows up black.

Meh, ive had silver cars my whole life. Too boring of a color. If whites just as bad as black ill go with either yellow or blue. Maybe even red. I thought white might be a little easier.

red seems to stay pretty clean, to flashy for me though. The white shouldnt give you too much of a problem but its one of the nicest colors on the s2k, besides black of course The new yellow and laguna are also very nice colors and should be easy to maintain.

I had a white Celica before the S. It stayed cleaner and required less to keep it looking that way. White tends to just start to look dull and grey as it gets more and more dirty. Uunless it's pretty heavily caked on or recently rained (dirty spots), it isnt as noticable as a dirty black car IMHO.

i've had both white and black. Black is by far the worst... white's simple to clean, keep clean, and mask imperfections.

Any dark color is harder to keep looking clean, especially black, white tends to mask the daily dust and small specks and appears cleaner from a far.
