Black is awesome! Yes, high maintenance by far. My H3 was black .. I had it washed/detailed weekly because it looked SO good clean!
I traded it in for the new '08 H2 color .. Graystone. I'm thinking I'll save a lot of money by not having to have it washed/detailed weekly.
In my opinion, the black is the #1 choice. So, you not only got a fantastic deal, you also got an awesome color for the H2! Enjoy!
