Living so close to the equator, I can drive nothing but white vehicles. I get 'ragged-on' about my color choices too. ;)
Love that silver. Bought a new '79 Mustang that color, but it didn't hold up well (and neither did Ford's paint back in 1979).

Here's a photo of most of the rest of the fleet....to show more of my wild and crazy color choices. Missing from the photo is my wife's Subaru Outback and another Focus that my son has at school. You'll never guess what color those two are.....

I have had black cars, blue cars, red cars, brown cars, green cars......for me, silver and white are good at hiding imperfections, they tend not to show dirt and fingerprints, they stay cool(er) in the summer, and are generally easy color matches for body work (white is better than silver in that regard, but not by much for a skilled painter; getting metallics to lay down right requires a little more skill than pure opaques). Many people are surprised to hear that white doesn't show dirt as much as darker colors, but it's true.

They are also easy cars to sell. Very few people hate white or silver; they might not love it, but most will not hate it.

The downside it that neither of them (white or silver) really pops when it is cleaned and detailed. IMO nothing looks sharper than a straight polished, glazed, black car. For at least 3 minutes until the dust and fingerprints get started...or until it gets the first door ding.

Of course color choice is purely subjective, and everyone should buy what pleases them. the above comments are IMO only......

Amen. It's pine pollen season here. My white car has a nice flat yellow tint right now. ;)

TGBraley said, "when I got my 15 SXT+ it came with a manual on DVD in the glove box"

My 2015 Limited had the DVD too. Problem is that it requires an older non-supported version of Adobe Reader. Fortunately, the DVD contains the old Adobe Reader, but if one has the latest, to access the DVD, you have to uninstall the current version & install the old one. I believe the manual exists on-line, but for ease, I just keep the old Adobe version installed. Anyone care to comment.

Congrats on the new beauty! As mentioned above somewhere...my 18 DDSRT also came with a paper manual and it was wedged in the teeny tiny slot inside the Glove box under the dash area. Maybe they don't provide them any longer or it was just missing. Rather annoying to have hunt it down thought that's for sure.

Dealer confirmed no manual, FCA Customer Care confirmed no manual, and are sending me one (2-4 weeks). I got the red nylon pouch, it had a thin "essentials" manual and the little warranty manuals and legal disclaimers. Nothing in the slot above the glove box. Perhaps some smart/savvy dealers are ordering a bunch and providing them on their own? Seems ridiculous that on a car with so many damn features and menus that that the factory would not provide a manual.........but as someone stated earlier....they are saving money wherever they can....
