Im with you on this one Jilly

Black is so COOL

Silver is COMMON

Blue is quite nice

Red is so-so but faded looking

 

[KDF]

Silver is the original and the best.. all others are just wannabes

 

[RobFenn]

lol

Sylvia youre only saying that because you have a black one! The red doesnt look faded at all, its metallic, how can it? Blues a bit boring in my view, silver is very nice but i agree far too common. However all are toppled by the Cup blue!

-Rob

 

[JillyB]

All the colours of the 172/Cup are nice, but nothing compares to a black car, sorry!

 

[RobFenn]

shush

Rob - I am not alone in thinking that the red isnt really red enough and although you say that a black 172 isnt immediately recognisable as such, due to it being available in other models, neither is the flame red, as there are ordinary Clios in a very similar, if not the same colour of fade red.

Anyway, it is fun to whizz past someone which thinks you are driving a 1.2

yep, its also means Low resale value as there are loads about!

 

[RobFenn]

err no fool if its popular that colour is worth more!

 

[KDF]

Common = Popular = High resale value cause they are the original.. cars with sport pedigre should be race car silver..

its the way it was meant to be.. I feel sorry for all you "uncool" folk with your "different" colours..

Starts a 1 man mexican wave.. SILVER .. SILVER ... SILVER

Unfortunately fool youll find thats not true, as when the silver loving phase is over, they are going to be worth a lot less!

It is proven that black has the the best re sale value, maybe only by a small amount, because its a classic colour, not just a phase.

Dont get me wrong, i think the silver one does look lovely, and i dont want the silver owners jumping down my throat!

 

[McBunny]

im getting out of here as i fear for my life

 

[SoLow]

Black is the classic colour, too common on lower level Clios (especially the 1.2 16V) and Blue is the finer choice, IMHO. I think the Clio really suits silver but there are just tooooo many silver cars, let alone silver Clios!

Never seen a red one irl yet so cant comment

 

[Roamer]

SILVER

Gotta be the best colour, I have it

[McBunny]

now now girls is it really that important

 

[JillyB]

If you say so Rob D)

 

[RobFenn]

 

[KDF]

Actually .. thinking about it.. there isnt really a "bad" colour for the 172 is there ? i mean you normally get at least one bad colour in every range of car.. but I would quite happily have any of the colours of 172s..

I guess thats cause they stuck to base colours and didnt really do anything wild.

 

[RobFenn]

I wouldnt say theyre base theyre all metallics, or pearlescents..whatever. I do like them all, my fave is just red.
