Best Colour for Golf 118TSI Comfortline?

[waterboy]

Haha, I could't agree with you more... Except for the Candy White part .
Everyone has their own opinion though

Any wagers that the poll will be filled with people voting for the colors they've chosen for their own cars?

Don't know what u mean

You'd have to hope that people buying the car bought it in their favourite colour!

Black looks sexy, classy and flashy...... having said that, I also like the Candy White.
I have had both colours this year (my white one was written off by hail).

No other colours really appeal to me... the red is yucky (and nowhere near as nice as the gti red), the blue is for Nanna's.... doesn't leave much else really. White is not my usual choice but Candy white is crisp and a nicer white than the one made by many other car manufacturers.....

I think the only conclusion that can be made from threads like this is this:

Volkswagen have the most BORING colour selection available!

Such a shame as they're such a great car

I agree! (I did start a thread titled 'if Golf's came in a wider selection of colours, what would you choose?")
What gets me is that they come in every colour of the rainbow... why if we can order specs, can't we order any colour? Growl growl!

Up for debate, but the color selection suits the image of the car - classy, understated, and simple. Having this car in falcadore lime green or bright orange would be a bloody eyesore. That being said the more sporty versions of the Golf (R / GTI) does come in appropriately sportier colors to suit.

Personally the white / reflex silver / shark blue on the 118TSI just remind me of colors that are most found on rental econoboxes. As for the black being harder to maintain, this is definitely true, but what color car doesn't look terrible after not being washed for 2 weeks?

Candy white comfortline with the sports pack looks awesome. White is a safe colour, if left in the hot sun all day it will be a lot cooler than a black car. My current order is candy white, there isn't too many nice colours to choose from in the Golf range.

Crap. The dealer only had Shark Blue, but hey, Once I get thye body kit and 18's, it should look pretty cool! I would have chosen the grey if they had it, or the Candy White.

If you were being rational it woud have to be candy white:

1) Best heat rejection
2) Least fading
3) Non-metallic so you can touch up small chips and scratches DIY without them showing
4) Highest visibility
5) Cheapest
6) Goes longer between washes in summer (in winter it depends on where you live - dark road grime really shows)

As for aesthetics I like the crisp clean white, but my wife thinks its a boring color. VW Australia has the most conservative color line-up since the model T ford.
