What are they like to live with cleaning etc?

do they show swirl marks really badly or do they can come up nice and new each time you wash the car?

might be getting a black car not my fav of colours thoughts

Nice when kept clean, look bad as soon as they are slightly dirty, pain in the arse to keep mark/scratch/swirl free. I've had 2 and I'll never get another.

PITA to keep clean, will show every little mark, but look the tits when clean.

A good 75% if not more or the cars I clean and maintain are black!

Winter time wont be best time to get one neither, with the weather etc, always get dirty really quick, and youll look at it and think wtf, what a shed, come summer time when youve cleaned and polished it and look at it 3 days later and still think wow! Thats when they are good!!

I like mine in summer and hate it in winter.

You cannot beat it when its clean though. I'd have another black car in the future, just probably not for my next car. Want a break after having 2 in a row

as said, pain in the arse to keep looking clean but very nice when they are!

Leon Cupra r's look best in yellow/grey, Black makes them look understanded imo.

My RS is black. It looks mean when it's dirty and shiny when it isn't, so a win win situation.
