Hi, my dealer has 2 Ioniq 5 Limited in transit, one in Atlas White and one in Phantom Black. I need to pick one, the prices are the same. I believe the Phantom Black is metalic which should wax up nice and look good in the sun, howver Im told that black cars show dirt my easily. Does anyone know if the Atlas White is a metalic or Pearl or flat? Unfortunately neither color is in the lot, any feedback would be appreciated.
I once heard that black isn't a color for cars, it's a lifestyle. They're dirty seconds after you finish washing them. I've owned only one black car for that reason.
This dealer no longer has a black I5 in the showroom because the staff got tired of mopping up the water after washing it every hour.
It's a love/hate relationship with black vehicles. If you are someone who uses the foaming brush at a coin operated car wash, then black is not for you.
I wash my cars by hand--frequently washing a black vehicle the size of an Ioniq 5 would be extremely daunting. That said, I love the look of a clean, black vehicle. I smile and nod knowingly to the driver every time I see one.
