What color is your Fit?

Not sure if it's been polled before, but what color 2015 Fit are you driving around in? I'm interested to know how each color stacks up against the others.

If passion berry pearl had been available in the lx trim, I would have gotten that one! Anyone know if there were "Sport only" colors in years past? Still, I think MSM is a lovely color. It was my second choice.

I like the way PBP looks black at times. ..but I'm sure it will be a little bit easier to keep nice. It has a nice pop when it's polished.

I am the first vote for Crystal Black Pearl! It's higher maintenance but I'm retired and have the time. Plus I look good in black - it's makes me look thinner.

I wanted yellow but got the car in June 014 so that wasn't an option. Long since happy I have the red.

My preferences were modern steel, alabaster silver or orchid white pearl. In the end it came down to availability and silver won out. I endured some good-natured ribbing from friends and family because my previous car also was silver, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Silver tends to hide dirt better than other colors and yet can look really striking when properly presented. Some will argue it's too plain, boring and almost invisible but that suits me just fine; I take comfort in the anonymity.

Like you, I have silver and it came down to availability too. At first, I thought it was boring, but it didn't take long to grow on me. I have the EX and the chrome trim and alloy wheels look sharp against the silver.

My 2009 Corolla was silver on the recommendation of a friend who said it doesn't show dirt as easily as other colors. That car got destroyed in 2013 and I got a titanium grey Elantra. But I kept missing my silver car! So I bought the Fit in silver and it doesn't seem to stand up to hiding the dirt as well as the Corolla?! When it rains I get lots of dark marks on the back bumper and the sprinkler drops seem more pronounced.

Still love the car, just wished it hid better.

I noticed a definite difference in the hue or luminosity or whatever. The Honda silver was definitely darker that the VW silver. With the VW, in fact, sometimes when the light hit just right it looked closer to a dirty white than silver; I don't see that ever happening with the Fit.

I haven't really paid much attention to dirt hide-ability yet but I'll update if I notice anything.

I'm surprised that yellow is holding it's own against all the other colors, I think I've only seen one on the road up here. Perhaps its a more popular color in the warm sunny climes.

Back in '09, Orange Revolution Metallic was ONLY available on the Sport. I ended up with orange because I wanted a Sport MT, and that's the one the dealer had. Loved that color.

i now have no idea if that is just something the dealer did or if it is some kind of style package. the is a thing on the rear bumper that says "FIT" as well.

I haven't seen another FIT with this on it but we actually liked the accent color being there over not being there. It makes it pop a bit and it is more unique and both the wife and I are normally against silly decals.

I was hesitant about MYP until I saw it in person. Pictures, especially Honda's pictures, often don't do it justice.

All the PBP owners should be happy with these results. It appears they have the most exotic color available.

Every car I have bought new off the lot (Mazda 323, Toyota Corolla, and Fit) has been white. For the combination of visibility, hiding dust, and resistance to oxidization and (duh ) fading, it can't be beat.
