I really like white...
...but the Forester's white in the US is only a pearl white, with the light gray/beige interior. I purposely got my 2002 Ford van (still have that) in white, and my wife's last two cars have been white--again on purpose. A tree branch fell on her '98 Sable and about half the body had to be repainted--and NO match problems.
And although a white car is going to show more dirt than a silver, or even better a plantinum (warm silver) color like my old '98 Acura TL, it is still not bad at all.
I wish the Forester had been available in a straight, non-metallic white with the black interior--I'd have bought one of those instead of the metallic Camellia red...which is nice, but shows dirt. I was down to the spark silver with black, but the dealer was only able to find the red/black combo, so I took that.
