What colour of car do you have?

  • I wouldn't go with a red or white car again because I was constantly cleaning them. I currently have a silver car for this reason.

    Not sure what colour I would go with next time

    Green unlucky? What's that all about?
    I've never bothered worrying about colour, I just buy the car that meets my requirements. Having said that, I rather enjoyed the Tart Red of my previous car and have come to like the non metallic Silver of my current old car. I much prefer simple non metallic colours.

    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!!!
    Silver is the most popular colour and may be easier to sell,obviously thats why there are so many of them!,mine is a 2 seater convertible in silver.:D

    When I bought it mine was a bright shiny Micra. After it rained and I washed it it, it has now become a matt finished Micra:rolleyes: Looking back at the history I found it had lived in Jersey by the sea for the first 5 years of it's life so all surface shine was removed :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I think the previous owner must have polised it with shoe polish just to sell i. Oh well Jersey is a small place so it had very low miles, cost peanuts, is cheap to run and insure and goes like a little bomb:T :T :T

    My main car is dark grey, although it's very nearly black.

    My other car is a burgendy red, but will shortly be yellow on top, blue in the middle, white at the bottom, and black at the front and back. Honestly. :)

    My Punto is metallic Royal Blue
    DH's Espace is sort of metallic black -Graphite, or something.

    Don't you hate the way that cr*ppy cars aimed at women (Daewoo Matiz, cheap Fiats etc) come in nasty colours like frog green, diarrhoea yellow, raw-meat pinky-red etc complete with shrill zig-zaggy polyester upholstery and nice classy cars (aimed at blokes!) come in decent colours with nice understated upholstery?

    Its like the manufacturers are saying " if you're so cheap, that you're buying one of these entry-level cars, you can damn well suffer it in vile colours, and we'll throw in the puke-inducing trim too!
