I once owned a 1987 Mazda RX7 and quickly ditched it for the sole reason that it was black. Not only was it noticably hotter, but the finish was much harder to maintain. Dust, hard water stains, pollen, fuzz, hair, belly button lint all show up more on a black car. Also, scratches and swirl marks are much more pronounced in a black finish than most other colors. Sure, it looks uber cool, but from a practicality standpoint, it’s requires the most care.
