Default Re: Which should I buy?

Should I buy Type S or the regular model?

1) Exterior color: like black but am afraid of too much maintanence. Will that look older than a white one soon?

2) Exterior color: Like black to go with black or white with parchment. Am afraid parchment would be dirty and difficult to keep clean.

3) How much hotter would you feel on the black leather seats in summer than the parchment colored ones?

Should I buy a black-black or white-white?

Thanks a lot!
I would get the Type-S. You're getting 35 more horsepower for about $1500...that's a pretty good deal. Plus with the Type-S you get the wonderful 6 speed model and better handling than the base model

Black is a good color for any car, as it always looks clean, but it ca show scratches easy. Colors on new cars don't really age like colors on old cars do, so that's a null issue. Parchment leather might get dirty if you have kids, or if you're not neat. Type-S models come with perforated leather, which keeps the leather cooler than normal leather. So black leather wouldn't get much hottery than tan.

Basically, it's a personal preference...whatever coloe combination you like better.
