I'm new to the message board and I'm looking to purchase 2009 C2. I have never owned a white car but photos I see keep drawing me in. Whats your thoughts on the color and how is white with dirt and dust compared to other colors?

 

LOVE WHITE! but not the cream white, the Carrara white, especially if paired with black interior.

have an white X5 now, after having a gray and silver one prior and a black 996. Will never do black again, it was clean for as long as it took me to put away the buckets and towel....

Silver was best at hiding dirt, gray was ok. White is pretty easy to keep clean and doesnt show summer dirt as much as it showes winter dirt.... if you are not in the northern states you should be fine.

 

+ 1 on the Carrara White, very nice on a 911

 

Had grey then black and now white, black is beautiful
But white is easy

 

anything not black. ( that advice deserves rep points)

 

Black is a hobby . . . . White is a color.

Both accumulate dirt at the same rate but black needs it removed instantly while white can live w/ it for a while and still look good.

My next Porsche will be white (famous last words).

 

but there are no creme whites for sale.

 

+1 on Carrera white.

 

Yup. I got to spend some time with a 2008, white/ beige leather inside. The Carrera white outside really defined the rear spoiler area and other elements so nicely.

 

I have a Carrara White 997 and love it. So much easier to keep clean compared to what I used to have and just from a visual stand point it's very pleasing to my eye!

 

+997 Will never own black - STUNNING, but waaay too much work!

Saw a carrera white with lipstick red interior and white powder coated wheels with wing. My son literally had to drag me away........

 

This is great info! The white color has really grown on me.

 

Carrera White is sharp! I however have gone with Basalt Metallic.

 

I like white, looks clean even if it does get a little dirty. but still a personal call it all comes down to what you like.

 

Love this topic
Just trying to keep it on the front page !!!
I will add that I drive my white 911 more than I did my black due to not worrying about how dirty it looks.
White is diffinitly not as critical.
When I sold my black 911 to a guy in Seattle I warned him about how much work the black is to keep up. He looked at me and said all of my current cars are black and have never owned any other color than black.
So to some people it's a religion, for a guy that has been a light color car guy,
It was tough.
