My 2017 Fuji white TD6, HSE Lux
White is a lovely colour when its clean, and I guess you have the ideal weather in OZ most of the year.
White just doesn't work here in the UK, had a white car a number of years ago and I ended up giving up with cleaning the thing! It was as if someone 'up there' was waiting for me to wash it, then we'd have a few days of rain and it looked crap being dirty again!
I'm having enough issues trying to keep my black DS5 clean at the moment, especially at this time of the year! Rain, rain and more rain! And because I live 'in the countryside', the car gets dirty after one drive...
If someone could invent some kind of coating, that mud would just slip off, i'd be so much happier!

Over in my neck of the wood, white is the easiest to keep clean. I had a Fuji white Evoque for near to 5 years before this and it looked better most of the time, compared to our darker cars. We have more dust than mud, as you can see from the photo which is my drive way, and dust does not show as bad on white.
Currently i've had to wipe off the mud and dirt from my registration plate at the back, as you can't actually see it! Plus wipe the lights and indicators too.
Hoping to get to wash the car next week, however I know it'll be back to the same in a few days!

Yesterday I took my new Discovery TD6 HSE Lux on its first long drive, doing 328.5km. I drove through Yass, Wee Jasper, Tumut and home via the Brindabella's (southern NSW) . Mostly the drive was dirt roads, some in good condition and others rather rough and single lane goat tracks. The Discovery, just ate up the miles, on dirt and tar. Even the big 22" wheels manage well.
The road was often rough with rocks and ruts and nothing has been shaken loose and I cannot hear any rattles at all. I did not take it on any side tracks to try the 4x4 systems as its only 1 week old and I will leave that from my Land Rover experience day next year. The car now has 784km on the clock and I seem to have all the systems sorted and the inConnect working.

I have done a few changes since purchase, firstly I had it detailed and sealed with Opti-Coat inside and out and then added front grill fins, covers on the seat adjustments a metal ring around the door tweeter speaker (plus the requested photo of aluminium paddles), silver surrounds for the window switches, silver covers of head rest buttons and silver covers in the drink holders.
