My black paint has very few chips, and I put 9000 miles on it in 5 months! Those it does have were easily touched up with matching paint pen.

I do have a ding on edge of door that will NOT stay covered up however--no idea why, it's white underneath too.

ya it's not black underneath.. it's white.. i kinda dinged my driver side door a little bit.. lil white specks are now there instead. but it's barely noticeable.

When I was looking for my new yaris, I needed it asap and the only thing they had arriving to the dealership with the manual w/ power option that I wanted was the white. They did have the blazing blue (which I ABSOLUTELY loved!) But it didnt have the power option. =( So white it is!

I thought about black also, but it gets TOOOO HOT here in Georgia during the summer to have a black car.

so very true.

And those stupid bugs splattered across the bumper and hood are more noticeable on the white. But I still Love her!

i don't know anymore...i've been told in other threads that unlike my old honda, the yaris is white underneath the paint so, if my black chips away i'll have a zebra/cow thing going

...in addition everyone says black flakes easier/quicker than white...IN ADDITION to the heat

...my tint and sunshade help but it gets warm and i'm in cali no less...

small price to pay for the evil look tho i guess

lol

My daughter chose black as she has never owned a black car.
Her two sisters and myself have had black cars. Black cars do get hot, with high temperature and high humidity in Queensland, but with air conditioning, good window tint and becoming expert at finding shaded or undercover parking it is bearable.
She expects this car to be more economical than her 4x4 (now sold) or her husband's highly modified V8 ute and V8 station wagon. I think her expectations may be exceeded by the Yaris.

Im a few miles south of Savannah.

Up until now, I have been EXTREMELY busy with college, graduation, taking the registry to become officially a radiologic technologist, and starting my new job that it was impossible to squeeze in time for a trip to ATL. Especially since its like a 4 hr drive from here. Maybe next time gadget!

Is there going to be another one sometime soon?
