Hottest Protege5 Color

Which do you think is the best color?
I'm getting a Midknight blue one in about 2 weeks from now.

I personally think the midnight blue is the best p5 color. Next to that, yellow.

Originally, I was attracted to the MP5 by the blue one on the showroom floor. Then, I saw the yellow one on the other side of the dealer lot. I was attracted and interested. Two weeks later, I decided to do it. I had narrowed it down to the blue or the silver since the yellow seemed like a cop magnet. I really prefer the lighter colors since here in the DC area, it gets really HOT. However, the blue which initially attracted me to the car is what I ended up with.

Note, I wasn't in the market for a car at all. I still ride my motorcycle to work every day and I get a lot of enjoyment from both.

I think yellow is THE color for the P5. I'm not sure if I would get it thought. Yellow cars are a ticket magnet. I think any edgy car looks good in silver. It shows off the body lines and it's looks cleaner longer through the slushy Minnesota winters. I've had too many dark color cars and they look nice when they are clean, which is usually for about ten minutes up here.

silver gets my vote... I would say that I am real fan of black cars but after having one I went back to silver... I live in an apartment and do not get the chance to keep the car super clean and the silver does not show the dirt nerly as much.

personally i would repaint my car a metallic orange but don't have the $$$$ to do it, so i guess it'll be the current color for awhile. you figure it out.

I actually like the blue best, followed by the black and silver, but we already had a blue Protege and a black car with a black interior in Texas? Not a chance... So silver's what I have, which looks much better when you get the windows tinted...

I love the black! Not just cause I have one, either. (well, ok, it is.) This black is the best, cause it's got the sparkle (metallic) thing going on. It makes it look so much better than a flat paint color. It is difficult to keep clean, but so was my teal Saturn. It's all up to you. I just think a black car is so sleek and stealth.

Blue is SEXY, SEXY, SEXY! When I got my car it was actually down to Silver and Blue (yellow is a little too flashy for me). The silver coz it just hides dirt better, the blue coz it was beautiful. It really drove me nuts for a week trying to decide, but it was all clear when I thought about the tint...BEAUTY! Silver is just a little too common for me, coz people see silver and its silver but when you see blue there are different shades...I decided to be different and there have been no regrets yet!

black is THE color for your 323/protege. it looks really good and when you've got it all waxed and polished, it shines like catshit in moonlight and the paint looks nice'n'deep. mine's black too, although the color on my pic is a bit out of place due to wrong lightness/contrast settings...

I'd have to go with the black mica or silver. I liked the blue until I saw the violet shade in it. No thanks.

We shaved all the emblems off our Black Mica and am polishing out the rest of the factory peel. It will look like glass afterwards.

Black is really good for loading the car up with accessories, cause they will match the paint, bra, moonroof deflector, blacked out tint.

My **** looks Mafia like, with 18" SSR GT1's.
