Color...

Anyone have any suggestions on what color to get? I have to let the dealer know tomorrow what color I want them to find for me. The first color I liked was the Lava Orange, however the dealer warned me that that would hurt the resell cost (he said the same about the yellow). My dad also told me he thinks I would get tired of that color after a while. I also liked the black, but I know scratches show up easily (so that one probably is out). The two I told the dealer were either red or titanium. So the 5 that I guess its down to is:
Red
Titanium
Orange
Winning Blue
Black
Anyone want to rank those in the order you like them, it would help a future fellow Mazda owner out. By the way, it is the 4 door 3S.

Well for me to choose, i will pick red (since i am gettin the M3s this june)



Red: it's the color i am gonna pick, so you should choose another color

Silver: its a GREAT color, but everyone has a silver car man...

Orange: this color is ok, but the orange they have is a little too bright...

Winning Blue: Nice color, enough said.

Black: Gangsta color= tight, but a pain in the *** to clean. If there are just little bit dirty, it will look like the car has a disease or something, pain in the *** to keep it clean.

Thumbs up

Sunlight Silver Metallic is the way to go. It looks good even if it gets dirty.

I like the 3 too, but the Mazda dealer said that it is a hard resell. Plus I am worried that orange cars won't be in style in a few years. As for the silver, I don't like that color on this car, plus everyone and their mother has a silver car. I am not too sure about the blue (winning blue that is, the strato blue is really ugly). I don't really see myself in a blue car, just something about it. Plus I think the red and black cloth is really cool looking. I think the black is sweet, really sleek looking. But I don't think I can keep up with how high maintenance it is. Don't want to wax it every week. So I am not narrowed down to the red and the titanium. The titanium is closest to the black, but is really easy to take car of. The one probably I see with the red is that its going to stick out like a sore thumb to cops. So I believe I am going to go with the titanium (I have to check out the red one more time though). Thanks for everyone's opinions, I hope to have my new Mazda3 S early next week.
