Colour choice
 
I know this is quite a subjective topic, but I need help choosing a colour.

I really like both the red and orange. Seen lots of white 86's on the road and just one red and one orange. Somehow the lines of the car show off better on the orange, but the red has this sports car look to it.

Once again, I know it's subjective, but opinions welcome on what I should go for. What do you think would be a more sought after colour in a few years time if/when I do sell.

If you have either colour (red or orange), do you have any regrets?

The red isn't my favorite shade of red but it's the one I opted for. I would have got the white but I don't like pearl. If I were to do it again I would still get red. Also, I think the upholstery trim (red) is a neat match.

Especially in bright sunlight when it really goes POP.

i guess you won't get many useful answers as everyone seems to love the colour they've got..
mine is dark grey, with tinted windows... which also works well with the interior
two days ago, i was wearing a black shirt and driving with my window open in town in heavy traffic and a girl walks past and says: you match your car, and btw, nice car, and then winked ...
it warms an old man's heart, cause she was hot and not much older than 20 i reckon :)

Go Red
 
Its beautiful , especially after a polish . I have no regrets. It does attract a lot of attention though.

My choice was similar ... Red or orange. Went for orange and no regrets.... It is a really flashy colour especially in the sun. Not sure if it will be sought after in a few years as the trendy colours usually go out of fashion.... But I didn't buy this for future value..... I am having fun now.

I was torn between the white and the black.
I opted for white, because it's not just white. It's got a slight pearl to it, and at dusk it looks almost matte.
It also is more forgiving in terms of dirt.

So 2 red cars on the roads this week and one orange. Was initially leaning towards the red, buy OMG, the orange in the sun looks stunning. My first choice is definitely going to be an orange.

Cant really go wrong with either one. Id probably go with the red tho... Just bc it already matches interior
