Whichever shows less dirt. Likely the green. I'd probably get a silver one though. Actually I'd go for a Limited to get an ivory interior.

Exterior that shows no dirt but and interior that shows all of it? :wat:

If that's the same metallic blue they have on the impreza, get that. My neighbor has one and it looks awesome.

I like lighter interiors because they don’t get nearly as hot.

i totally missed the word "yellow". For yellow accents, like the lotus colors.

I’ll back your play man... I always loved black interiors but now that I have one in the BMW, every dust spec shows, it feels dirty to me a day or two after a clean inside. It does look great clean but the taupe in the C5 looks “good” longer.

Ended up with a green Limited XT, black interior. Yes, I have the ugly wheels and none of the cool black out stuff. I'll be doing that with some vinyl wrap and probably buying wheels and tires at some point.

RIP in peace Accord.

Still haven't taken pics. Some bird dropped some major bombs on it though, I need to clean it. I have no idea what that bird was eating but it was probably garbage.

Almost hit my 1,000 mile break in. Then I can start doing full CVT burnouts and launches.

Pros:
- Dynamics are surprising. Really good for how big and heavy it is. Outright grip isn't amazing, but body roll and everything is really predictable
- Ride is bossssss. You can hit railroad tracks and potholes as fast as you want and almost feel nothing.
- Seats. Thigh extensions are game changing if you're tall
- Big screen is quick
- Eyesight active cruise control with all the settings turned to most aggressive (acceleration, and gap to the car in front) is actually really good.

Con:
- They should have never put the seat heaters in a touch screen. Turrible idea, takes a lot of looking down and multiple presses to get it right.
- The nannies are a bit over the top. It squawks at you if it feels you aren't paying enough attention ahead.
- The system doesn't remember your settings. I'd prefer if I could permanently turn off auto start/stop and the face monitoring, and keep active hold on.
- Lane keep assist is pretty disappointing. Accord's was way better. This ping pongs way too much and tries too hard to hug the right side of the lane instead of center.

This is what I want it to look like, but with the chrome blacked out. Still undecided on the lift or not. Dynamics and ride are so good now, I don't want to mess with it. But daaaaayum. Look at it.

Looks awesome...but I wouldn't mess with the suspension geometry personally.
