In the long run the blue is cheaper. I have owned my java black WRX for 2 weeks now.....total $ spent on car washes = $38 and climbing

 

IMO the black with the gold flake looks really bad when it has even a minimal amount of dirt. Blue does far from hiding it but still it hides it better than the black. I dislike the gold flake and the WR Blue is classic. Cheers and Good Luck

I would shy away from the black one only because it already has 75 miles on it. And you can bet that those are 75 miles that the car has been driven very hard. If you decide on black, find a different one.

 

As mentioned black is a tough color to keep clean. Minor dings and scratches tend to show more than a blue or lighter colored car. On the other hand nothing looks better on a performance car than deep gloss black except maybe red. If you have a garage to store it in overnight or during bad weather I would go with black. If you don't then get the blue.

 

based on options alone, I'd take the blue. you can always buy a short throw shift later for cheap and maybe swap trunks with the owner of a WRB with wing that doesn't want it anymore.
