Either will reflect light quite well...and you live where there's tons of sun.

Buy whichever is the best deal...as you are buying used.


Either color will look awesome with dirt/mud on it.

Argento was my second color choice - I usually dislike silver on cars, but argento just looks so good. Either way, they are both now discontinued colors as the 2014 models will be Whiteout and Argento instead of the now Halo and Steel.

Just go with the one you like the most, and don't worry about rarity, or other outside factors like which will show dirt more or less, etc - just pick the color you truly want and like, and you'll be happy.

I went in the dealership with black in mind but the white just looked better in person. See if you can compare them side by side in person.

My 2 cents: Disregard what's popular. It's your car, get the color YOU like most!

Sounds like your leaning towards white. Yes they're both "sexy as hell", I feel white compliments the black/red/silver interior.

IMO, forget about what is common and go with what makes you smile. Sit in both and choose the one that gives you goose bumps :-)

I've owned 3 black cars in the past, but my BRZ was my first white car. I have zero regrets with getting white...especially since the "satin pearl" finish looks great compared to just regular white paint.

White because if you're planning to do mods like me (which are mostly all black trim pieces), it will very much compliment contrast the car as a whole compared to having a dark car with black trims (you pay good money for) where people can barely see.

4th year with my SWP BRZ and still no regrets.

It's a Toyota. It should be white or red. Red was not an option so white.

white looks amazing under lights. do note, however, that this is the 2015 white, which is pearlier than 2014.
