Always dangerous to ask for opinions on colour choice as you’re likely to get a multitude of different responses that’ll confuse you even more!
The
Formentor does look good in black. However………..black is a labour of love to keep it looking good, and will only look clean just after washing. Also;
- if you don’t use a safe wash technique (two or three bucket method, long pile wash mitt and plush drying towels)
or
- if you entrust your car washing to one of the many hand wash places or let the Seat dealer do the free complementary service wash (a.k.a. the scratch and swirl treatment ) when it’s back at the dealership for servicing, warranty or repair work
then it’ll quite quickly show swirl marks.
These days when I choose a car colour, I consider the following;
- What are the best colours to ‘hide’ swirl marks if you don’t use a safe wash method? (IMHO; white and lighter metallic colours).
- Which colours are easiest / most difficult to get an accurate colour match on if you’re unfortunate enough to need paintwork repairs? (again, IMHO - easiest; white, most difficult; silver and lighter metallics, solid reds).
- Which colour is easiest to carry out DIY repairs to stone chips So you’re less likely to see them? (white)
Based on the above, it may not come as a surprise that my current car is white
.
Back to your original question and setting aside the above considerations, I really like the
Formentor (in order of colour preference) in Desire Red, Magnetic Tech Grey or Nevada White.
