Car Color

[Alysser]

My Hyundai Elantra is white. There's also a silver corolla, silver honda insight, and a taupe Lincoln LS on the driveway. My sister has a maroon saturn. I don't really like silver cars, I feel they are a bit too common for my liking. I wanted a dark blue color, but I don't like how mud shows so easily on that color either.

Maybe I'm weird but I think white hides alot of the dirt. My friends always think my car is clean on the outside. Someone asked me the other day if I wash it everyday, which I DON'T lol.

I plan on hopefully buying a truck (Ranger or Bronco) in the next few years and want red, dark grey, forest green, or black one.

My first two cars were white. Most of the time the cars appeared a light beige or yellow depending on the time of year. I do like my green car.

Dark blue.

My Grand Am was dark green and my first car was dark grey.

Silver...I wanted a light blue color but there were none available...I don't mind the silver, my daughters car is silver also. I noticed they have it in a pretty light violet color now but that might be a hybrid color.

My husband just bought a pearl white highlander, I really like the color. We now have 3 highlanders in the family if you count the 2002 my hubby gave to our oldest who is out on her own. That highlander is metallic gold.

We are pretty boring but I had a burgundy car once and got so sick of that color.

I totally agree with you that white hides the dirt. With my Camero and Mustang I didn't realize how dirty there were until I started washing it and swiped it with the sponge or cloth I was using. That's why I wanted a white Jetta. Silver is close enough. When it is clean it sparkles.

I always had white cars, but my Honda CRV is sage, my fave color! Depending on the light, it sometimes look bluish, but "Carla" is beautiful.

My car is red. My first car was dark blue. When I was looking to replace Carl (my 1980, dark blue Monte Carlo) I knew I would buy used. I said, "I want any colour except red." LOL - I guess the Law of Attraction works because Tobias, my 1992 Toyota Camry, is red!

"Toto" the jeep is black.
"The Ute" is white.

My first Toyota Corolla was blue, my second one was silver, and my current one is called Desert Sand but it's more of a gold color.

Well, the Concordia bus that the residents use to travel in is blue & white, however my last car, a 2007 Cobalt, was called "blue granite metallic" a long winded way of saying dark gray! LOL!

We have a light silvery-blue mini van and a black truck. My husband has always had black trucks, they've always been his favorite thing to drive.

[k9krazee]

Black with lime green spots!

The "official" color of my Subaru (which I love with all my heart) is Sage Green. I should take a picture of Zoey standing next to my vehicle.

I don't have a car, but if I had, it should be racing green or red (not too bright, though). My bicycle is red.

So it's three years later - do you still love it? How has the mileage been for you?

Oh my gosh YES I really enjoy this car! Still love my Carmine, lol. And Psst! It's only 2 and a half years, ha ha haaa. That half year is important to youngsters you know?

The mileage is pretty consistent at 48.2. It has a button you can reset at each refill OR if you never touch it, it shows the mileage for the life of the car. Lucky for me, I had read about this on the Prius Chat forum during that LONG wait for the car to arrive, so I have NEVER reset the button. It has varied from time to time, but mostly is at 48.2. Not bad!

Way back when, my very first service, I took it in to the Dealer. They tried to charge me for a gear adjustment - the Prius doesn't HAVE gears! (Again, I knew this from the Forum). There was something else, I forget now. I was fuming, even though I had read this was quite common w/ the dealers, to over charge, charge for stuff not done, or that wasn't needed at that time. The local garage up the street, meanwhile, had sent 2 of its 3 mechanics to the training for the Prius, so now I just go there.

No matter what type of car you have, I highly recommend the Forum for YOUR make, model and year. It is amazing the things the "Car Guys" and Gals learn and pass on!
