What is it about a white car?
Discussion
In my case no extra cost option.
Only two other colours on offer that I thought a Punto looks better in, black (I already have a black car) and red but I intend to run it into the ground and don't like the idea of driving a pink Punto in five years time.
Nothing else in the colour box I'd pay extra for so white it is.

Most preferred the above in blue, but not me White is the perfect colour for some cars the WRX being a case in point. Naturally opinions vary, that's just mine.
Maybe I'm always one step ahead of the crowd.
Personally, I've never liked white, or red, or mid/light blue. (I wonder, if subconsciously, it's a hidden hatred to a particular nation...?) Nah, not that, too boring looking for me, and too common. I HATE silver for the same reason. However I do like black as although it is just as common, on the right car it looks mean!

I never did get the hang of the discus at school.
It's not something I like to talk about either......
Plenty of cars look good in white - and here's the important bit - when they're clean. Equally plenty look awful. I'm convinced it's a fashion thing - and it will eventually change. Hopefully soon.
The problem with having a white car (IMO even more so than a black car) is that even a small amount of dirt ruins it. Driving a white car is a bit like wearing a white shirt to an Italian restaurant and ordering spaghetti. It only takes a small amount of road grime to make the car look neglected. Notice how no-one posts a picture of a dirty white car? The reality is, especially as we head into winter, most won't be clean, and won't appear a fraction as good. I know - other colours show dirt as well, etc.
I don't think I could ever own a white car, because I'd never stop cleaning it. It was frustrating enough with a black car that just looked a bit 'dull' after a few weeks. But never say never...

But do they? Or do they look good despite being white.A Porsche 911 Turbo for example - it would look good covered in dog crap, so its hardly surprising it still looks good when the owner forgets to spec a paint pigment. it's an example of a car that looks good irrespective of colour, so if you see a good looking white one it doesnt look good just because its white..
