Black or white VW polo? ?

I’m getting a 2011 vw polo as my second car. I’m feeling indecisive about which colour to go for, do you think black or white will look better?  

Update:

To add, I do have 2 cars on reserve to view of the same year and similar mileage etc. Just need to pick which colour I prefer to go for.

    Now that we have been able to get away from BLACK as the only color available...you want White (which is not as white as snow or as white as another car or whiter than another white because WHITE comes in shades.  I would go for green,  or yellow, or sky blue (avoiding brown)  That is me. A used car - there is no choice.  It is what it is.  B & W are the least used colors now. It may be turquoise or silver or deep blue.

    Black is for Hearses.

    Color is obviously the WORSE reason to pick a used vehicle.  Obviously mechanical condition is MUCH more important, unless you want to sit in your driveway in your cute little white Polo and make VROOOM-VROOOM sounds.

    If I were you, I'd rather go with the white one, those are easier to clean.

    If you live anywhere where it gets hot, go for the white esp if there’s no a/c.

    For me, those would be the two worst choices.  Small cars look best with bright colors.

    Black will look nicer when clean and sitting on the lot, but will be more difficult to live with.  I would take the white.

    Maybe split the difference?

    When buying a used car, you rarely to never get your pick of colour, especially not when you are narrowing your selection to a precise make, model, and model year. You'll buy whatever one is in the best condition, with the least miles, for the best price, and that one will most likely be neither black nor white, so if it happens to be either black or white, then count yourself lucky that you got one of the two colours you were hoping for.

    Pros of white: 

    * stays cooler in the summer, not as hot to get into when parked

    * requires very little washing as it stays clean looking all the time

    Cons of white:

    * can look like a fleet car or rental car as it's the most popular colour for that

    Pros of black:

    * looks sleeker, but only when clean

    Cons of black:

    * gets dirty extremely easily, especially after every rain, and then looks junky

    * gets super hot in the summer, hot enough to burn yourself getting into it parked

    Black. I have a white Volvo and it gets so dirty especially during the winter when the city starts spraying salt on the streets to help with melting the snow.

    I like the black! 

    It’s nicer
