White can NEVER remain looking clean for long. When my dad had his white explorer, it was ALWAYS dirty, even 15min after washing it again.
Something a little darker (not black), might be able to hide the dirt a little better though.

A dark silver, forget them boring light silvers. Or white
Regardless, when you get the car, tell the dealer not to touch it and bring it to me. Seriously.

I disagree with that statement too. My TL is a pearl white and it hides dirt very well. I haven't washed mine in over two weeks, including a trip down the shore, and aside from a few bugs that are smashed onto the front bumper it looks clean. If you're a complete slob and don't wash it for over a month it'll be noticeable, but that goes for any car, any color.

If she wants the BEST treatment and protection to ease her maintenance/ownership, as she's already picking a color to help make it easier to maintain, I can only be of further help off the bat.

And to go with my other statement about not being able to wash it in the Winter, I'd probably get it to you for a good detail before all the snow and ice start. Seriously. The blue is most definitely my fav. I just dont know how much scratches and scuffs will show up on it. The picture doesn't really do it much justice but I didn't want to post anything that was super edited. |

Silver! But it's boring.
Flat white is the worst color from your list. Just get the blue. You know you want it.

First off let me start off by saying CONGRATS!! This is a great freaking car! The 2010's are so smiley, it's so cute!!
So anyways... I have the white 3 as you know. Well... where do I start?! HAHA. My boyfriend washes my car whenever we get the opportunity to (since we're both so busy it normally happens on a random weekend)... but the difference from dirty and clean are VERY drastic. When you wipe down my car, you can see the change from a grimey gray color to a beautiful Crystal White Pearl Mica. If you miss a spot, YOU WILL SEE IT, trust me. HAHA. You can't tell the car is dirty when you don't wash it though. I didn't wash my car for like the first 6 weeks of summer and it did look spotless... but when I washed it, it was GROSS. I laughed. As far as scratches... I have a scratch somewhere on my car but I can never find it anymore since of all the car washes and wax jobs and whatnot. It's really not noticeable on a white car (at least to me). BUT... you can definitely tell when the paint chips since there is a random layer of black underneath the white. I have a bunch of random paint chips on the front of my car from like rocks and stuff from the highway. It's easily fixable with the touchup paint though. I would highly recommend getting some of it when you purchase the car. Other then that, this car is amazing. I love my 2008 Mazda3 sSport. Definitely my favorite purchase of my life. I have had no problems with it.

In my experience, silver cars can go without being washed for months and still look good. Its harder to notice the thin film of dirt and dust on them. They just turn a little less shiny and more grey was they go unwashed.
