Picking one up this week -Newbie

Two questions:

First, I will be using it for Real Estate so I am thinking Grey. I like Red better. What do you guys think?

Second, is anyone using an iPhone 6 in the car and if so what mount do you suggest for using it for Navigation? I am understand that the hondalink may not be worth the effort at this time.

Thanks

Thanks for the input. Thats a great looking mount. I have never seen a CD slot mount and in the Fit EX its perfect as far as location.

Well, I like red myself, but then I have no reason to please anyone but myself. I thought about the color of car as it affects the moods of potential clients; there are of course numerous hits on a Google search. From what I can see, red is a "polarizing" color; people either really like it or really dislike it. Not the case with gray; it is pretty much neutral to everyone. No one is going to ride in your gray car to look at a house and say to himself "This agent's a flake or a zealot". Not saying it would happen with a red car, but you don't see many gray Ferraris.

Also saw this profile of Realtors (tm) and what they drive:

A Portrait of the Agent ? Realtor® Habit Survey | Market Leader

Apparently the average Realtor drives a silver car and the most successful ones drive white ones.

Full disclosure: I have a red pickup and five red motorcycles. The Fit is my wife's and is Aegean Blue, which is gorgeous.

Ditto that. I chose grey because A) I could get one quickly, and B) it tones down the somewhat over-the-top style lines on the side of the car. I'm very happy with my choice.



Don't own any red cars currently, but have in the past. One of my tractors is red (and grey), though!

Thanks you guys. I think I will stick with grey. Maybe I can pass it off as a BMW

Ok its a done deal. I am picking up the grey one in a MT tomorrow. My rational is that I really need a tool for my job and tools are grey

Looking forward to it. I am ordering the referenced phone mount ASAP.


Thanks for your input folks.
