Oxford White owners: Post pics of your car here!

I picked white because it was the color I disliked least. Green was just to weird, black shows dirt, swirl marks, too hot. Red, yellow and blue were just too bright. Silver is even more boring than white. I think I offened everyone, sorry.

White is the thinnest paint: therefore the paint chips easier and fades the quickest. I owned two white cars before, looks amazing the first year but after that it really loses it's appeal.

I was set on getting black, but am rethinking it. White is the main contender because it's easy to maintain.

Black does show dirt easier, swirl marks (never use a gas station car wash) and diffinently takes alot more effort to maintain. Too hot?...., honestly, after a couple minutes of A/C, it is a moot point. My current car is black on black on black and the A/C gets it nice and cool in short order. Plus, a couple of my friends have white cars that feel just as initially hot to me on getting in as my black car does. I think ceramic tint and a windshield cover (if you're not up for tinting the windshield as well.....) will do more to keep the interior cool then the car's exterior/interior color.

What I like about the black paint is that although it takes effort to keep it clean, that thing can be buffed out to a mirror. Put the same amount of effort buffing out a white car and it'll just look like you washed it recently, but a black car will come out amazing.

But that takes alot of effort. Granted, after you do a good buff job (and maybe even glaze it) you can seal it and wax it and then it only takes a simple washing to get it back, but with black....after a day or two it looks like it needs a washing again. I think you can go for weeks with a white car before it starts looking like it needs a wash.

The A/C on my Matrix is very poor. It is in factory spec, at least according to my Toyota dealer. All my other cars were much more powerful. My old Neon I never put it on MAX because you didn't need to.

Waiting and waiting and waiting for my Fiesta.

Yep, that is Ryan's Fiesta. I am trying to get him to post pics here of his Fiesta. Our cars are basically twins.

Sam linked to that last night. I wondered if you were the Bryan he gave the shout-out to. The white is super pretty.

Ended up ordering white. Good contrast to show the defusser, looks nice and clean for weeks and I think it will look great with dark rims.....although shoulda got larger rims here
