IF U COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN WHAT COLOR WOULD U GET? - Page 5 - Toyota Yaris Forums

brainless twit · 01-25-2009, 11:39 AM

Mine is silver streak mica. I wanted the flint mica, but it wasn't available anywhere near me. I would love to have that apple green that I've seen here on the forum, but I understand it's not available in the US.

My last car was silver also, and one thing I do like is the fact that it doesn't show dirt. Also, if I ever decide to add any other colors (pinstriping, etc., though I haven't seen a pinstriped Yaris yet that I like) the silver is a good neutral base.

why? · 01-25-2009, 02:59 PM

bayou blue is what i wanted. The first lb my dealer got was rad though, so i took it.

I wanted my Yaris in Absolutely Red but it wasn't available in any of the many car dealers i went.My 2nd choice was Polar White but i ended up with Red Carmine Metallic which is one of the new 2009 colors and i love it!

Russelt3hPirate · 01-28-2009, 11:23 AM

thinking of picking up a 2nd yaris once the STi is paid off.

I'd go with White.

uncleyaris · 01-28-2009, 05:54 PM

I love my Bayou, but wished they had offered that Jimcat Green, I think that rocks!!

REM · 01-28-2009, 08:42 PM

Absolutely Red.

weaver615 · 03-25-2010, 10:35 PM

If I could do it all over again, I'd buy another Black one.....LOVE my Yaris!!!!!

Yaris Hilton · 03-26-2010, 03:37 PM

I wish Absolutely Red had been available for the sedan. Had to settle for Barcelona Red, which is OK, but not red enough. I think the bright yellow is the killer color for the liftback.

eht13 · 03-26-2010, 05:35 PM

Not sure... I have Polar White, and I have a love-hate relationship with the color. Love it when it's clean, hate it when it's dirty (which seems to happen pretty easily).

coffiend · 03-26-2010, 05:43 PM

^ same w/ my black. Wish 5 doors were available when I got mine too.

TwoBearWisconsin · 03-28-2010, 01:54 PM

I really wish that dark purple shade they have on the xD this year would have been an option. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with my meteorite metallic.

sbergman27 · 03-28-2010, 02:39 PM

White with no metallic, mica, or clearcoat, is by far the most durable color there is. It lasts forever. (The old lacquers did *eventually* oxidize. But starting with acrylic enamel and continuing with acrylic urethane, plain old gloss white truly is the color for the ages.)

It's also really easy to keep. Gloss white can be as filthy as can be... and no one would ever notice until the mud layer is thick enough to become opaque.

The paint on this car is original, 22 years old, has been through 350,000 miles, has never seen the inside of a garage or the underside of a carport, and had just traveled 700 miles without a wash before this picture was taken:

It's hard to see in the photo, but yes, it's still quite glossy.

I wish the hatch came in a metallic gunmetal gray...

Altitude · 03-28-2010, 03:21 PM

My color preferences were Black, Meteorite and Bayou Blue. Ended up with Bayou Blue and still really like it, but if I had a chance I think I would go with the Pearl White.

The little red pill · 03-29-2010, 10:43 AM

ABSOLUTELY RED!!!

SAV912 · 03-29-2010, 11:05 AM

Really wish I had landed a Meteorite Grey, that's my dream color for this car. Red was second in command (gotta love UGA

) but white was off limits because the girlfriend has it, and I don't like either of the blues so black it is.

thebarber · 03-29-2010, 05:32 PM

i know ive replied to the thread in past....and i still like my red

originally we wanted bayou blue, but no 3drs at the time...

but the rarer it gets, id like an orange mica 5dr....but i still don't like the colour in real life that much...

ezhacker1 · 03-29-2010, 05:45 PM

i love my Meteorite, but i had such a hard time deciding between that and Polar White, both were the only 2 HBs at the dealer. Funny was i was deciding between those 2 colors prior to walking into the dealership. I still think white looks friggin awesome, and i would enjoy the Panda theme (my favorite animal) but meteorite can look so badass when done up. White looks good already in stock form though.
