Reason(s) for your color choice? - Page 7 - Toyota Yaris Forums

If you look in the lower right corner of a post two blue boxes say "edit" and "quote"
that shade of blue is the color of my 2010 Yaris.
I chose this color because my 1998 Honda, Civic was gray. There were so many gray cars on crowded parking lots, I always had trouble finding mine.
Nothing is more embarassing than having the security guard drive you around the parking lot to try to find your car. It happend to me once or twice.

One good reason to have the keyless entry system. I can hit the panic
button, and hear my horn blasting for a few seconds. Or, if I know I am
close, I can hit the lock button to have the lights flash once.

I got my Bayou Blue because it was the closest color to the color of my eyes! lol

SilverBack · 07-02-2010, 02:45 AM

Met. met because it's not a loud color, so keeps cops off my radar a little less. Would've gone with black too if it were not for the blazing hot Summers here

RedHatch08 · 07-02-2010, 11:47 AM

Absolutely Red.

... because I bought used and that's how it came. Didn't really want such an attention grabbing color, but the deal was too good to pass up.

brg88tx · 07-02-2010, 11:53 AM

barcelona red metallic, because i got a killer deal on it used. i was looking for a white or grey one, but the red is really nice looking and has grown on me.

STC · 07-02-2010, 01:10 PM

I chose Bayou Blue color because of its hue, therefore; its ease to find or spot in a crowded parking lot. The blue is not too bright and metallic, and yet not too bland and dull... IMHO

red ones go faster

'LilRedYaris · 07-02-2010, 04:47 PM

I chose to get a Barcelona Red Metallic sedan mainly for more visibility on the road. I didn't want people not seeing my little car and accidentally running into me, as happens with a lot of dark grey, silver or darker colored cars. It also helps that it's a pretty classy color in its own right, and I really liked it.

The Barcelona Red really is classy looking

bkrownd · 07-02-2010, 04:59 PM

Mine was the only manual hatch on the lot. At least white is cool in the Sun.

ChilliwackGuy · 07-05-2010, 02:44 PM

I chose Mica Silver (the dull silver) for my 2010 Yaris HB - so it'd match my wife's 09 RAV 4 LTD V4 - that way we could switch cars and people wouldn't notice too much (surprisingly very few people realized we had 2 diff cars!)

ERA · 07-05-2010, 02:44 PM

zephyr blue.

cause its awesome. and i guess no one else seems to have it.

plus ive got a red supra, tired of red lol.

wooverstone8 · 07-05-2010, 03:03 PM

I purchase a red Yaris, so it's more visible to other drivers.

rye7jen · 08-09-2010, 04:27 AM

Flint Mica FTW!!!

matanfr · 08-09-2010, 06:05 AM

i chose the silver.we had a "moussy silver" that looks like light grey that i also liked, but i wanted the blue yaris!!

the dealership told me that the blue color won't be imported to Israel in this specific model with the multimode or manual transmission with 100 HP..

People who bought the 87 HP yaris a year before me could have a much larger color choice.

2009BBPliftback · 08-09-2010, 01:27 PM

It was either Blazing blue or Black sand for me. I picked the blazing blue since its makes the car look more fun and cheeky. I think cars like the yaris should include more "loud" colors.

derickveliz2 · 08-09-2010, 02:16 PM

.

Love the white and fint mica (Dark Gray), but I just feel that the Sedan "S" shows more of it's lines in Barcelona Red
It sucks under yellow/orange street lights Though!
