Default How many owners have Mica Blue?

Dealer has a used one, they have had it for 6 months. I think the color is hurting the sale, only has 6k miles on it, asking 41,900 and it still sits on their lot. Figure they might want to sell it now for a discount. Do any of you think this color is that big of a problem? Had a 1993 RX7 with this type of iridescent color, I liked it. At night it looked black, in bright sun light it kind of changed color. It is not a luxury car color, more sports car.

I love that blue, but I thought it would clash w/ the cabernet color leather that I HAD to have so I went w/ black.

My wife had that color on her ES I personally think it's a great color. Now as far as how it sits on the GS is another story. Haven't seen it on the GS in person but the pics on the website don't do it any justice. If you like it that's really all that matters and if you get a great deal on it it's even better.

Clash? Probably not that's a hell of a color combo. Damn I would've loved to have seen that.

My dealer has an F Sport on their lot in that color and it is beautiful. It has a black interior. I would have seriously considered it had they made it available on the 2013 F Sport when I was buying. It is new on the F Sport for 2014. Outstanding color!

Had it on my 2011 3GS. It's nice but no replacement for the Black Sapphire Pearl.

Oh, and it's a PITA to keep clean and to keep the fine scratches off of.

I have it on my Luxury. It's an awesome color when it's nice and clean. It is a pain to keep a swirl free finish. I would suggest having it opti-coated and or paint protection film. I would also suggest hand washing it. I only take it to my detailer for hand washes and never an automatic car wash.

My question is how does anyone NOT like this color!

Agreed,

Color is gorgeous even though high maintenance because its soft. Hand washing and polishing 1-2 times a year . I wouldn't change my choice. But I would probably ask how soft paint is before I purchase my next object. Sadly no such thing is mentioned in specs when you place your order. So how would you chose a color then?

You would choose Liquid Platinum, which shines through even when the car is dirty.

I do! Love the color since you don't see a lot of its shade on the street.

The only thing I don't like about that colour is they don't sell the 4GS in that colour in Canada. Otherwise it'd probably have been on my short list when I was buying.

It did not have seat heaters . That's a non starter. Guess that is part of the reason they have had it for 6 months

I would have gone with that color, only I couldn't find it in black interior. Just the grey interior which, considering all of the black accent pieces, almost seems two-toned..

Mica blue is nice, but I prefer the Meteor Blue.
