New 2014 RS colour choices and options list

I've found the blue holds up OK, doesn't look too bad dirty or clean. Its not too dark that white scratches show up too bad and not too light that dark scratches show. My mica black cars showed every minor scratch. I agree the green does remind me of an SV6, if Holden hadn't of done that I would think about it.

I tried to get a Candy white in my Santa fe but my wife wouldn't have a bar of it. It's on my list for the next car, the Race blue is as well (it was always available on the Mk2 in the lower specs) but would have to see what the blue looks like, from web pics it seems a little cheapish in the new model.

I like black but over the minor scratches showing up from miles away in the clearcoat. Stone chips show up more as well. I've never had an issue with a black car being hotter though, I think thats a bit of a red herring in the age of A/C.

Silver shows almost no dirt - Yellow holds up well too.

Always worried about fading with Yellows, the Mazda yellows in the 6 and the SP20s all faded. Reds still seem to do it as well depending on the pigment. Silver is good all around but oh so boring....

I've had a few red cars (too tight-arse to pay for metalic). Without a doubt the Skoda has held up a lot better than any other red cars but I've learnt about the difference between polish & wax since those cars & also park under-cover more these days so I'm not sure if it's better paint or better protection

I haven't seen any faded skoda yellows. this is looking at pre-fl mk2 and some mk1 pics.

but ur right....some manufacturer yellows look like they came out faded, or did actually fade!!!
