This is my car. I know you are dissing it but since I got it 17 months ago I haven’t lost it in a parking lot a single time. I am only buying obnoxiously bright cars from here on out. |
AND my kid is always waiting for me when I get to the front of car pool line because the walk is talkie ladies can identify me from like 1/4 mile away. |
| Walkie talkie |
Still chugging away in my red car after 14 years. |
My tween is urging me to buy a “blue flame” car, but I just don’t think I can bring myself to do it...even though there seems to be a surplus of them on the lot! |
| What type of car? |
Blue magnetism! |
| We have found that metallic colors hold up the best. I have a burgundy metallic that looks terrific after 10 years. Make sure you wash it and give it the occasional polish wax to keep it nice. |
|
Gold held up much better than white, and black is the worst for me; silver and gray easily blend into the road and are often not seen by others.
So I would vote for gold or red. |
| Black |
Midsize SUV. Not sure what yet. Pilot, Highlander, Ascent, Enclave, etc. |
| I think SUVs (in any color) tend to look less dated than sedans of the same age. That being said, we have a 10 year old SUV we’re terrible about washing regularly and up close you can see some scratches, nicks and dings. It still looks pretty good and I think being silver really helps. |
|
White.
Silver cars look like raw steel and not very attractive. |
Like a stainless steel frying pan color - yuck. |
| Black will always look the best |
