I'm going to be ordering a Civic soon but I can't decide on the color. I want black or polished metal but the dealer has nothing in polished metal for me to actually see in person. Also I saw a review video with a black one and it had those ugly thin stripes down the sides that a lot of cars seem to have. It wouldn't come like that right? What are you guys opinions of the two colors?

If it's a Sport Touring, black paint looks absolutely amazing...

... in the rain or for 10 minutes after a car wash :D
Is there sport touring somehow different from the sport on the outside?

Pinstripes are a dealer option. Most will not have them.

I like polished metal a lot. Black looks great when clean but shows dirt and scratches too much for me.

No, other than the "Touring" badge.

Hi. I am new here to the group, but have owned 6 Hondas since 2008. I have learned that the best colors are the ones with metallic flake in them as the clearcoat seems to be better applied. I would stay away from Black as every new black Honda seen in my area just looks bad (swirl marks show easily). Unless you plan on nightly garaging your black car with daily dustings, forget about it. Check out Steel Metallic Grey. Dark, but not too dark to look good anytime of day. And it holds up to dust well. The new flat water based colors are not the same. Go to the dealership and ask to see a color sample display. They have actual paint samples in a book or on a card to get an idea. Good luck.

I have the polished metal and my girl has the steel gray. I think they're much much better than black and they don't show dirt too much. The polished metal has a slight blue tinge to it sometimes. It's kinda nice.

Sonic Grey Pearl all the way. Wish it was available for the Si. I guess polished metal is similar but fk black. Ain't nobody got time for those swirls.

Personally I went with the polished metal on the Sport Touring. Looks awesome in my opinion.

I'm working on getting polished metal now. Thanks for all the replies. I like sonic grey a lot too but I think it looks much better in dark light than it does on a sunny day.

Depending on your location, I'm in Canada you can't get the 2018 sport touring in polished metal, which sucks because it's so nice. But I got black instead.

Love the tint. Miss that on my new car, but NY is being such a b*tch about enforcing tint laws.

I was eyeing black ... dealer only had the polished metal Sport. Got a great deal so agreed to come in and see it - it really is an incredible car

Had it for a couple months now - still do double takes at it when as I exit
