Rather than highjack another thread, I wondered what other owners of Phantom Black (not sure if Audi do another version of black) A3's thought of these comments:
"black is the worst colour you can get a car in - stick with the grey - personally i would nevr ever buy a second hand black car due to evry single little scratch and mark being extra visible - if you want a car to look nicer for longer stick with the grey i reckon - thats my choice too mines a dolphin grey when it comes in march. Black looks good on delivery date only."
Do you regret choosing a black car and would you ever own another of the same colour again?
I've had mine for 6 months and the paint is still in fantastic condition even though my sport means I drive and park it on beaches. I always pressure wash my car before going at it with a soapy sponge to get rid of any loose dirt that could scratch it.
I do wash my A3 more often than previous cars to keep it looking at its best as I think it looks so damn good in black!!
My works vehicle is white and shows the dirt and looks grubby far quicker than my black A3.
I must say that Iv'e found the laquer on my Audi is far harder than my previous Impreza and Mazda6 and makes my previous Navara and 206's paint look like wax crayon in comparison.
I bought my previous Hyundai Coupe, Ford Mundano, Mada6 and Impreza in silver with the thought "its the best colour etc etc" but don't regret buying the A3 in Phantom Black one bit!!!:icon_thumright:
