You can't get silver in the US, unfortunately. That would have been nice.
I also own a CW, but would love to see a RR in person. The only other CTR that I have seen was a PMM, which I loved. You truly can’t go wrong with any color!
To each their own. It may be hard to do, but if you can, try to find each color and see it in person. I was lucky enough to have seen them all at my local dealership. First one they received was black. I've had 3 other black cars and I know what it's like to daily drive them. I wash and detail my cars myself but I really don't have as much time as I used to. Their next one that came in was CW. It was high on my list but a bunch of my friends already had white Si' s and the big vents with the white didn't really do it for me. I also feel CW was going to be the most common since it was indeed a "heritage" color. Rallye Red came next... but I knew that was out as it was too much red for me with the red interior. Plus the only red cars I've really liked are F cars and NFR S2000s. The one that won me over was the PMM. It came just in time off the truck when I was ready to pull the trigger on one. I was looking at S3's prior to the R, and really loved Daytona Gray. I picked this because it was going to be a daily and I wouldn't have to clean it as much as the black. It pops just enough to get the looks but doesn't attract the LEOs as much IMO.
From what I've read, many/most swirls are from improper car washing.I knew I'm too lazy to wash my car . So I picked PMM. This thing doesn't get dirty! Pic from no wash for a month ....
I feel most people would be best off never laying a hand on their paint. I get my new cars Opti-Coat Pro coated days after taking the keys and while I wash the car weekly via wand wash, nothing but water ever contacts my paint outside of an Iron X and 2-bucket wash every sprins. It doesn't matter how good your rags or chamois are you are going to swirl new paint after enough contact. My cars never have swirls in the paint. Even my black R looks perfect after two years.
