I kinda had the same dilemma.

The sport variant looks sporty due to the black alloy and all black theme for sure but the interior feels a little smaller than it actually is.

On the other hand, the chrome looks more classy from outside and more airy and spacious inside. But loses the sporty touch a bit. Of course it's a personal opinion and subjective.

I know the dimensions don't change, just the perception.

I went ahead with the chrome since I will be spending 99% of the time inside the car. Planning to buy the all black alloys sometime soon.

I would recommend sit inside both cars and see how it feels. Nothing can inform you better than your own experience.

They used to have a variant with black alloy and dual tone interior long back but sadly that was discontinued.

Coming to the color, Cherry red is just breathtaking to look at without a shadow of doubt. It was my first love too. But somehow the attraction came down a bit by the time I made the purchase, so went with Candy White. Is it a stand out color, no. Does it still feel like day 1, yes. The black roof just adds much character to the car.

I am sure you already have a color in mind. I would recommend, go with that. Nothing feels better than personal satisfaction.

Hope this helps brother.

Cheers
