Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I had a dark blue non-metallic 993 and would never hve another non-metallic color. The metallic colors just seem to hide more...maybe because of the reflectiveness of the little metal thingys in the paint. JMHO

jet blk harder to maintain. the besalt is a metalic color and i actually like it. Would hide scratches more as DonW has said.
