Has anyone taken delivery of an IbIs white S5 Sportback yet? I was hoping to get some owner pics and first impressions. I'm having an internal debate about switching from Ibis to Daytona after seeing a few of them delivered.

Thanks in advance!

I have Daytona and I think it looks amazing. If I had a second choice it would likely be Ibis with Red. I think that would look sharp.

I have an Ibis white coupe (red interior) and no complaints... Daytona was my second choice.

This raised a good point. Most inventory I have seen so far for the SB is either Daytona, Mythos, Tango or Navarra. Florrett, Ibis/Glacier and Gotland are almost non-existent (at least on the East Coast). I think I might have seen a Gotland Green on IG in Chicago.

I think my favorite non-exclusive is still Daytona with Red. Ibis or Glacier with Red will be amazing also.

Yeah.. I think Daytona is going to be one of the most popular/common colors.

Another point to consider would be Daytona is metallic and hides dirt better. Ibis I think it's flat paint. I had Daytona on my RS5 before and it looked amazing in sunlight and hid dirt well.

Never had a white car so can't really comment. I always have white in mind while car shopping but I always end up switching to black or grey for some reason 🤔

White shows dirt moderately. Its much better than black though.

Honestly where I notice dirt the most on my white car is around the trunk/rear bumper when up close.

White seems to hide small and light dings/scratches pretty well however. Better than a dark car.

That's what I've heard also about white. Black is probably the most difficult to maintain. When it's clean, it's amazing. When it's dirty, it looks pretty bad. And scratches and dings do show more. And not to mention swirl marks after washes 😭

The Ibis White A5s I've seen in person are glossy white. Basically glossy opposites of the black.

Yes. I used the wrong term I should have said non-metallic. Like Brilliant Black is glossy/non-metallic and Mythos Black is metallic.
