I've a bright green car at the moment. Easy to find in car parks although I've had people say that it's unlucky (not so far). What colour of car would you choose if you were changing yours? What colour would you not buy? I wouldn't buy silver because I'd never find it in a car park!!!

We have a red Touran, mainly because when we ordered it there were only 100 Spice red ones in the UK and ours had to come specially from GermanyThe "Bloodlust" Clique - Morally equal to all. Member 10

I've got a black, mk5 ford escort. I would like a mk4 escort in citrine yellow!
And no I'd never have a green car, they are unlucky.0 -
I've got a bright red Astra SportHatch.
I love the colour, really stands out on the motorway in a sea of black & silver cars.
I've had black before and won't be going back to that again.

I would never have a black car again, they show up all the dirt. That's why i have a silver one, they might be very common but you don't have to wash them very often, i also have an old 106 in blue which i have never washed in 2 1/2 years of ownership, but i do clean my lime green kawasaki (the only colour to have) sometimes.Sponsored by Tesco Clubcard Points !!0

Silver (or more accurately Ford Cuirass Blue) has its advantages. Its the same colour as road dust. It is also as inconspicuous in a car park as the Aston Martin Vanquish in "Die Another Day".The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.0

I have a Megane R26, which comes in 'Liquid Yellow' as the main colour. It does look good, although I couldn't bring myself to drive a yellow car. So in the end I got black.0

My first car was black - and I said that. I then had a silver one.

Had a mid blue one and hardly had to wash it as dirt didn't show much.
Had a black one and hated the fact that every bit of dust and birds mess showed.
Now have a white one :rolleyes: so not much better but with our budget the choice of cars was limited - let alone colour!!!working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?0
