opt for the Type-S... they not only got more HP out of it, the suspension, tires & wheels are all more adapted for sportier driving. It is also available with a 6-speed manual tranny.
A parchment interior will definatly be harder to keep clean... and from my experience, black will definatly show scratches, more so than the white... but to me, black looks the best when its all clean and waxed nicely.
The color is your preference...
