Which P5 color should i get
 

I know this has been posted before but I am going to get my P5 in a couple of weeks and I don’t know which color to get? I have been debating about this for a while, what color does everyone recommend. :bt:
And please no one say something like purple or bright green LOL ! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Seems like a matter of personal taste to me. However, I will point out that car companies in commercials of late seem to favor silver with dark window tinting.

Strangely, I have a silver one with tinted windows...

Definately the Midnight Blue. Anytime there is a dark blue available in any car...go for it!! :) White would look cool too. Both with some nice tinted windows. :cool:

I WOULD GET YELLOW ....:bt:

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
:blue: :blue: :blue: :blue: :blue:

i think yellow would be an EXCELLENT selection

or as Sean Penn says in I am Sam,

yellow is an excellent choice

Depends on where you live. Winter tends to be easier on lighter colours especially silver. dark colours are a bitch to keep clean, especially black. I have black and it needs to be washed like everyday in the winter.

I was torn between silver and navy blue. I ended up going with the silver, as it doesn't show dirt and scratches as much. I think it's going to look really cool with tinted windows.

I really wish that Mazda would offer some more colors on this car, maybe a deep metallic red and a light blue-silver color like Toyota offers on the Matrix.

Well, if you don't wanna be like everyone else who has replied, go with the Classic Red! Very nice, eye catching, fairly easy to keep clean, and looks sweeeeet. :bt:

Classic Red!
 

You definitly have to go with Classic Red. It's Cheaper for one, (the only "free" color on the P5, so you can now invest that money into a sunroof or something :bt: ) and it seems that every red addon for the car matches the paint color perfectly! (Brake caliper paint, red hoses under hood, Injen Intake) I've got all of these on my car, and it looks great! A perfect match!

Red is such an easy color to maintain... Doesn't look too bad when it's dirty, but when it's clean, WOW! If you'd like to see some pics of my clean Classic Red P5 with matching calipers, hoses, etc, email me here and I'll be happy to show them to you.

I hope you make the right choice... ;) And for all you crips out there, driving a Red car does NOT make you a slob... :the finge :cool:

There really shouldn't be a debate, of course you go with Black Mica, the preffered colour of Makaveli, all rights reserved.




All the other lazy people that have those light colours can't even come close in looks to me at night, as Sinead O'Connor once said....

"Nothing else compares"


btw, I'm not a fan :doh:

There's a POLL done on this forum a while ago. Seems that Midnight Blue is still the winner! :bt:

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: I dont know which one to pick :( Maybe i will call Bill Gates and ask for him to buy me all the colors :bt:

:(

Color cost
 

TheMAN, I believe there is a price difference for the different colors in Canada. And they don't get a roof rack, but they can get side airbags and ABS separately.

Now, I have to go back and change what I said--I agree that if you live somewhere where the weather is not too ridiculous in the summer, the midnight blue is the way to go. But here in Texas, a dark car with a black interior is just asking for trouble, and my wife was already driving a blue Protege, so I went with second-best, which is quite obviously silver.
:bt:

Thanks for the input everyone :). This will help me greatly in picking the color i want, because i like all the colors and didnt know which one to get :bt: . Hopefully this is the month for me to get my P5 ! ! !

If i can hurry up and pay all these stupid credit card bills off :(
I hate VISA ....... :the finge LOL

I would get it before 4-01-02, since they have the best financing yet right now. When I bought my P5, I got the 4.9 for 60mths. Now its 3.9 for 48 or 60 mths. GET IT!! You wont regret it!

:bt: :bt: :bt:

I'm partial to silver cars in general, so that's why my 5 is silver. Out of the 8 cars I've owned in my life, 5 have been silver.

I think it shows dirt the least - looks clean even when it's dirty.

A recent study found that silver was the most popular car color (all cars) in 2001.

Opinions, opinions, opinions.....

Re: Re: Classic Red!
 

Like mentioned by Sunbyrne, we get charged $350 more for any color other than red. Also, our cars do not have roof racks, but we can get side airbags as an option. (ABS is standard, same with the DRL's.) As well, the polished wheels are a no-no for us canucks. (Like they're any good anyways! :rolleyes: I want BBS!)

Hope this clears it up a little. Don't believe me? Go to Mazda Canada's site, and try to build a P5...

you can't go wrong
 

I just don't know how you can go wrong. ALL the colors that are available look good.....and all of them especially with the windows tinted. I personally couldn't do with out a Vivid Yellow P-5, I got my wife the Black Mica, she says its SEXY! however, its a real pain to keep looking clean, but that is HER problem. I have seen P-5's in every color...they ALL look good. Its just a personal preference. The only real differance I have noticed is that the brighter colors, the yellow and the red, DO attract more attention. And not only from passers by....but also the POLICE! SO, no matter what color you chose, you really can't go wrong, for the simple reason that the color is on a P-5. Just think about if you want to stand out....or blend in. :{D

Re: Re: Re: Classic Red!
 

Actually, colours other than red or white (now available up here) cost $105, not $350, and we can't get side airbags even as an option, which I find very odd. Sometimes these marketing decisions are a bit of a head-scratcher.

Thanks to SpaR/Ticus pics i might get a black P5 they look sweet ! ! !
I dont know i want them all :bt:
I should get the paint that changes colors due to weather conditions, BUT its expensive from what i seen :(

Man, just stick with black, you know you can't go wrong with it. I'll never ever get tired of my Black Mica. U get your elegant black, and tiny silver shiny specs in it, beautiful colour.

I definately suggest not getting the white. I love the car and its the only color that I think doens't make the car look as nice as it actually is. Personally, I have black and I love it. It is a little hard to maintain, but if you love your car, then washing it is a labor of love. I really liked the midnight blue, vivid yellow, and classic red also, but its up to you. I would suggest to shy away from silver just because it seems like the color everyone is getting. Go with a brighter color or one that will stand out more than the silver. Any color would be good because the car is so great! :bt:
