[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have driven a white car and a black car and if there was a difference in heat in the car it was not noticeable. If a car sits in direct sun on a hot day it will be hot. If you can park it in the shade or it's not as hot outside it will not be. I think perhaps because virtually all exterior colors have a lot of reflective particles in them the color may nont matter as much.

What DOES matter is the color and material on the seats. If you have a white car but dark colored seats then they will get hot sitting in the sun. Even with the UV on the windows. Leather seats are usually also hotter to the touch because of the smoothness of the surface though I vastly prefer leather to fabric.

Currently drive a dark blue car with light leather seats. Car itself is no hotter on a hot day than my old white car and the seats are actually a bit cooler as the old car had black leather seats that were scalding.[/quote]

Agree with this comment.

I had a white car when I first moved to Florida and then later on, a dark green car. There was no difference in temperature when getting into the cars. [/quote]
