It was the colour that first caught my eye on the forecourt at MB Ashford 6 1/2 years ago - neither black nor silver, but a very nice metallic burgundy called Carneol Red. Much easier to find in a car park!! Our previous S203 was silver, it never looked dirty but then never looked really clean and shiny even after treatment with clay, DA, polish and wax. As for a black car - it's the devils colour, I would not have one.

Careful buddy , you never know if our Dark Lord is reading the Internet . He might take away your Christmas presents if he hears that .

How many miles then?

Black is an excellent colour for that 45seconds after you’ve washed and polished it

250k with an om651 with stop start! That said eco mode rarely engaged so that probably helped.
I agree completely about black cars.
