Black is the best looking but needs a fastidious owner who washes the car weekly. Moreover, in the standard model the Black has velour interior that needs frequent cleaning to look good. It can also mark easily. If there was a Black on Black interior I would have gone for it (std model).

For me, Arctic Blue was the best compromise as it has the dark interior. I still get compliments on the colour 12 months after owning the car.

Silver is also nice and doesn't show up scratches as much as the darker colours. Premium white pearl is also worth considering and is the safest colour in the range from a road safety perspective.

You can't really go wrong -- not so sure about Milano red though.
I totally agree with you dude, I have recieved SO many compliments over the color, I took mine in to get a repair to the spoiler a couple of weeks ago after some stupid woman reversed into it with a bike rack... well the guy who did the repair mentioned how great the color was and what a nice car it was

The black looks good too, but the interior color choice is what threw me off, I like the black/chrome interior because it still looks sporty and nice. Don't like the Milano red color, I had a 2001 Civic that color and got sick of it after awhile, not only that you can only have the tan interior which reminds me of an old mans car... don't like it, takes away from the sporty look and feel.

I love the Arctic Blue, it looks great especially after a clean and polish, and is a good variety on all of the silver and charchoal Euro's you see going around !
