Car color help

So I'm very torn. I hate asking questions like this, because it's totally a preference thing.

I'm thinking the blue is too dark, the grey is too standard and everyone has grey, but I'm worried what the black will look like when it's not shiny anymore.

What color car do you prefer?

Re: Car color help

You are right, it is totally what YOU prefer, since you have to love it and drive it. .

That being said, I like black. I used to own a black car just like that. Loved it!!!!!

Re: Car color help

All of my cars have always been black. So that's what I chose. The only thing with black is that if your car is dirty, it always looks worse on a black car. Whereas a grey car covers up the dirt alot nicer.

Well, I love the gray...its like a gun metal gray.

And I think you should put $2k down and finance it for 5 years Chat Icon

Re: Car color help

i am a big fan of black cars - to me, they tend to look newer longer than other colors.

i also like the gray color, but i am not a fan of the blue.

Re: Car color help

I love the way black looks, but I have a black car now and it shows every speck of dust, dirt, etc. I think the blue will be the same.

If you take your car to the car wash religiously, black all the way. If you are like me, SILVER.

My next car will be silver or pearly white.

Good luck!!!!!

I'm going to get 27% interest on my loan, do you think that's a good deal? Can you help me figure out the payments?

I picked grey, only because I used to have that car in that color and it was beautiful. Every time I went to the gas station someone complimented the car. Chat Icon

Re: Car color help

I have a grey honda. I love the color of it!
The blue is nice also. Black is hard to keep clean but it looks so nice.

So now that I didn't help you at all..it's all what you prefer

Ditto this. Plus I feel the blue is more youthful. I don't like the way the grey looks - it doesn't look very grey.

I voted blue. I just like that color. I have a black car now and hate how it looks so dirty all the time. Grey is so blah! Go Blue!

Re: Car color help

I love the 08 Accord in the Burgundy but since that isn't your choice, I went with the charcoal gray. I do not like Black because it is a nightmare to take care of. The blue is nice but after owning a blue car, I know we were tired of the color......The charcoal is a very classy, rich looking color.

We already have a blue car, which is kinda why I'm probably iffy on it.

My first color choice is the red - but it only comes with beige interior, and I don't like beige interior.

Re: Car color help

I have an Acura TL in Blue which is made by honda so the Accord blue is probably similar if not the same. I LOVE IT!!! I also like it in black.

Which one do you think you'll still be happy with in 3 or 4 years?

Re: Car color help

I'm no help, I've own/ed all those colors before...by far the worst was my black car...although it looked pretty when it was clean, I saw and noticed every single scratch on it! I don't think I'll ever own a black car again.

Blue is in the driveway right now - DH prefered the blue to the grey, he thought the grey was too light.

It's only been 2 hours and the XM is already converted to Sirius. Chat Icon

Thanks for the opinions!
