Buy yellow or blue P5

Hi all,
I will buy P5 soon. I am thinking I should buy blue or yellow. I saw the yellow one on the street and it looked nice. On the other hand, I think that blue one is also good. I really don't know how to decide!

I'm trying to decide between WHITE and BLUE. The WHITE seems to be color in Japan. Also, around my area, it's hard to find BLUE protege5s. Strangely, I can find many yellows, whites, silver, blacks, but not BLUE and RED.

The color decision is totally up to you. But it seems like Blue is the most wanted in the US. Yellow is too flashy.

Look at this thread and you'll see that blue is winning by quite a big margin

Get blue!

Yellow really stands out when i first saw it, but I'll probably get tired of it after a year or so...

kenji4861 is right, you're going to be the one driving the car, so it's up to you. The P5 is a wondeful car, so you can't go totally wrong no matter what colour you choose

I wish they had the MP3 blue available for the PR5, but yellow was fine for me

I personally like all the Protege5 colors, but if I had it to do over I would probably get White. I think the car looks even better in white.

Everytime I see a yellow P5, which is usually in the dealers lot, I think the car looks great in yellow. Would I buy a Yellow one? Probably not. Two reasons, cops and resale. Yellow is a ticket magnet and the market for yellow cars is limited. I have a Silver Focus SE Sport and silver is the color for me. It's a good color for hiding dirt, water spots and road salt. Any dark color in MN looks nice for about five minutes, then it turns white in winter from salt.

Hey, I am new here and if you couldnt tell, I have a blue MP5. I would suggest the blue because the color is really deep and rich and I've had people ask me how much it cost to have blue/purple color changing paint And in my area I've been the only blue Pro5 I've seen.
