Since opinions were asked for... mine is on order, and it is 3 dr, UG. I was originally totally set on CW, but dealer had a CW that had package 1 on it that I got to test drive. I didn't take it because of the package, but once we parked and I was going around the car to check it out real good and close, I was seeing any and all little black or dirt specks on it from the road... because it was CW. It drove me nuts. That made the decision for me. I completely disagree to the statement that CW would be the easiest to keep clean. I've had white cars too and that was totally not the case.
I have a silver car now and for nearly always looking clean, it's fantastic. But what steered me away from getting that was the big
statistics showing how silver is by far the most popular car color in recent years. And at least around here you don't need statistics to see that for yourself. Silver is everywhere on every kind of car. I was just kind of tired of looking at it. For me, I liked all the colors of the GTI to be truthful. It was just a process of elimination on why I didn't like a particular one as much as another. Plus after seeing those wallpapers for the UG, I knew then that it was the one.
In the end though, they're right... you have to go with what YOU feel in your gut or which one you can see yourself in the most. Also, which one will you not be tired of 2 or 3 years from now. It's definitely going to be you that has to drive it around for 5 years or more. :smile:
...oh, and the 3 dr vs. 5 dr? I went with 3 because I think the 5 loses just a pinch of sportiness in my eyes. But again, everyone has an opinion...
