what color should I get?

I am probably getting a fit soon, but I have a problem. I don't know what color to get.
I either want Blackberry Pearl, or Storm Silver Metallic.


Any recommendations? THx

Have you seen them in person, and in sunlight? I know the silver maintains a clean appearance longer, even if it's a little dusty or dirty. Just flip a coin. You may not have much of a choice if all the dealer has in stock is one of those. Unless you want to wait for delivery of another.

Silver looks great no matter what. The Blackberry is probably going to be a little harder to keep clean but like above see what they look like in person and take it from there. I really did not want the Milano Red until I saw it in person and thought hey that looks sweet!

Good luck and enjoy your car!

thanks I was thinking black would look dirtier quicker. I have seen black in person in the rain, and the silver only under fluorescents at a car show so I havnt really had a good look at either.

If you like washing your car, then get a dark colour, if not, then definitely get the silver. Being dirty is not your only problem, dark colours show up stone chips a LOT more than a silver or white car.

My rule of thumb is if you dont mind seeing chips, swirls, scratches...get the darker color...if you are like me and cant stand the sight of swirls, chips, etc...go with the light color. Lighter colors will appear to be cleaner longer.

I know this for sure because my civic is a dark purple color and my parents both have white cars...you can hardly see the little chips and scratches on theirs....mine is the opposite. Reason why ill never buy a dark color again.

Get the BBP, its totally unique and is a pretty tight color! But it will show swirls, dirt, dust, scrathes easier then silver. I have a black and its the hardest color to keep nice and i dont mind it..
