Havanna black

Hi all,
I new here and have been going through some of your posts on havanna black and I'm not to sure I've done the right thing. I am waiting on my new A6 to arrive and it's in havanna black. The salesman couldn't show me a car in the colour but assured me I will love the color but after reading some of the posts I'm not so sure now. Is there anyone here who was in the same situation as me.

Thanks

I have it too. I think it's a gorgeous color. I was between this one and Oolong gray, and am happy with my decision. Having said that, it requires more TLC than I was used to (I have had mostly gray cars, with a metallic blue and a metallic green in between). If you're OK washing it once a week or so, and every time it gets rained on, you should be golden.

With these metallic colors, you see their true beauty in the sunlight. Anyone have any pics from a nice sunny day?

I have havana and love it! Unfortunately no good pics, but I've gotten many compliments on how unique (but subtle) and masculine the color is.

EDIT: that second pic by tenspeed is about as pronounced as the brass/espresso undertones will ever appear. 85% of the time the car looks straight-up black. But in direct sunlight you get some very cool stuff goin on.
