Question Color of your Fit

Do you wish after the fact-that you would have bought a different color Fit and why?

I think most are happy with the color they choose. I think the fit looks good and has potential in every color.

Not really.

My old SX8 Honda City was a deep blue and I absolutely loved that color, but my GD1 is silver. I've learned to like Silver Stone Metallic, if only for the fact that it hides blemishes, paint chips and emergency duct tape repairs pretty well.

I love blaze orange.. but I originally wanted vivid blue or storm silver. it was just so hard to even get a fit at the time especially with a manual transmission (which was a must) so I just bought the car i have now and grew to really love it.

A different color Fit and why? After the damage was done, it was already too late to even consider another color since at the time, these were hard to find specially in the west coast. I drive a Storm Silver Metallic which I wanted to nickname Silver Surfer. It's a nice color and you can't go wrong with that. Why I choose that color, simply because it's what the dealer had available plus it was automatic which was perfect so that the wife can drive it too, another color I would consider would be Taffeta white or Black. If I had the choice from factory I would pick Electric Blue with a shade of dark purple.

I had really wanted Blue sensation Pearl, but my salesman could not find any within a 500 mile radius in the Sport model when I was buying the end of April.
I love all shades of blue, so he searched and found a Tidewater Blue, so I have grown to love it.

I really love the Blackberry Pearl- but am afraid I could not keep up with cleaning it to make it look its best. And that color was hard to get as well.
If the Milano Red had been a metallic red, I would have gotten it in a heartbeat.

I have vivid blue and sometimes it feels a little too bright for me, but some mods will help that. I wanted white, but no white in 08 and I wanted it new. If I could go back id get black or silver but when clean I think blue looks the best.

Since I was hunting for a used Fit and was willing to accept almost any color at the time due to supply and demand, I'm just happy I didn't wind up with a blue Fit.

I love my Vivid Blue Pearl to death but on some sunny days I can't bare to look at it, especially after a wash and wax with Zaino's. I wouldn't mind having one in either Tidewater Blue, Black Berry Pearl, (if they had these as color choices, all Ridgeline/Pilot colors) Nimbus Gray, Dark Cherry Pearl or Red Rock Pearl. The five colors aren't as bright as Vivid Blue Pearl, Milano Red, or Blaze Orange Metallic but would look great on a GD.

I love my MR Fit but I have to admit I saw a TW on the lot the other day and had visions of black rims and a CF hood.

I love the VBP that I got. I even waited an extra 6ish weeks for that color to become available at my dealer. Sometimes I wish I had a TW Fit though. But, I really didn't want to get a used '07 in TW just because it was white. I'm happy with the decision I made.

Ditto! The first fit I saw on a showroom floor was white (an 07) and I thought it looked great due to the monotone paint scheme. No white in 08 thus I ordered the most unusual color I thought. BBP is beautiful but a nightmare to maintain. Too late now!

Nope.. I wanted white and got white.. If white was available in 08 my other fit would be white as well.

Well, initially I wanted a Nighthawk Black Pearl Jazz. It was three month waiting list for that color when I ordered it, and after a little over 2 month into that waiting they told me I had to wait over 3 month more if I still wanted the NBP one. So I opted for another dark color the dealer had available in the south in my country. Had to wait just a week for that one. Was at first a bit skeptical since I just had seen a paint sample of the color.

But when it arrived I was overjoyed!
The color even got better when I took the car outside in the sunshine!!

So, NO! I would not bought a different color now

I just love my Black Amethyst Pearl color!
