I've never owned a green one though 😂 Was literally about to post the same. Between the wife and I we've had blue, sliver, white, black, red and grey cars. No green cars 😏 I don't tend to have a particular fancy but I always get a different colour to the one I sold/traded in and it's one of the above colours mentioned.

It was definitely a strong rumour/urban myth back in the 90s. There was even an episode of The Bill which featured in the storyline. The police have, in the past, released statements rubbishing it (of course). White cars were definitely deemed the safest, reds and blacks were obviously prone to getting booked.

Greedy Jambo Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 I still think there's more to it. Obviously, if you just need a car, you're not really giving a shit, but there's a reason that old folk start buying beige clothes. Mon the Science.

luckyBatistuta Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Would never buy a red car. Don’t like the colour, think it looks shit on cars. It also ages really badly, you see some red cars starting to go a pinky colour. Gun metal grey has been my favourite over the years, but own a silver one at the moment.

Jim_Duncan Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Years ago I had a lovely maroon car. Signed it over to my girlfriend as I went abroad for 6 months to study. Came back to find girlfriend waiting for me at the airport. She’d traded in the maroon one for a green one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbert. Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I prefer dark colours just because I dont wash the car much and it hides the dirt well. I do like white cars but its more effort to keep them lookibg clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red seems to decrease the value of a car, they are normally the cheapest listed used cars after you search their model. I always stick to Grey, Black, Silver.

I dont like the twidly dial thing for the screen a la Audi though, Im used to decent touch screens in Hyundai but andriod auto is touch so its a small price to pay for a car that seems fun to drive!

Canscot Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Current car is Pearl White. Bought new a year ago when manufacturers were still struggling with getting computer chips , so were very few cars on dealer lots and those that had cars were very limited in colours available. Never was keen on white but do like a pearl white as when the sun hits it the right way it just oozes class. In 1998 I bought a Forest Green Nissan Maxima ( I know. 🙄) Was a super car. Had it 10 years. Was so pleased with it I have owned nothing but Nissan’s since. 2008 Rogue 2012 Murano 2023 Pathfinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
