Surprisingly, red is actually really low maintenance. It takes an amazing amount of dirt before a red car actually looks dirty.

This is true. It tends to look a different shade of red before it looks dirty. It just get less bright. It does have a tendency to show paint chips quicker though because they show as a bright white speck.

I like red, but don't like the BRZ's red color. Therefore, DGM.

Based on my experience WRB, without question is number 1.

Here's my list:

1.) WRB
2.) White
3.) DGM
4.) Black
5.) Galaxy Blue
6.) Silver
7.) Red

I feel red looks the best in person to, with the dark accents just my .02 cents.

Here in Vegas, we have way... WAY more "DGM" then any other color.. Of course I'm including FRS in this.. At one meet we had like 12 grey cars.. Only two red.. I pick grey because I love it.. The metallics are just awesome in the sun.. I personally do not like the car in Red.. UNLESS it lowered and on a nice set of rims that are not black.. Then I personally think it's the best looking twin out..

Right but there is no WRB FR-S. It is exclusive to the BRZ and there are about 3 FR-S's sold for every BRZ... You have to keep that in mind. I have not seen another WRB twin driving around Minneapolis....

That would be a nice looking car. In fact, you really can't go wrong with any of the colors on this car.

Yes I never discredited that. I also understand this being a car enthusiast.

It is a unique color and very special to the Subaru brand lineage.

I love the Galaxy Blue.. I had a hard time deciding between it, and WRB, but WRB won out...

Jive turkey is the only dark blue I've seen that I would actually drive.. Maybe it's his whole set up.. But I think it's a color they could've left off the line
