I think the Sti5 yellow is brighter than the uk sport flavour.

Is a yellow scoob a good thing to be seen in?

This ones a 555, not sure what that means though

The resale is cheaper as they are a bit bright .

Means you can pick them up cheaper but most people are after the sonic blue ones so they will be worth less when you sell and more diffuclt to get rid of. I am sure some one will say they are worth twice as much and took themn 15 seconds to sell theirs . They are cheaper for a reason .

Mmmmm - Only if it was an STi Ver 6 Type R...But they seem to be rare as rocking horse poop...

The earlier (V3?) Ltd edition was a brighter shade of yellow, and not to my taste...

The problem with yellow cars, is that they seem to be plod magnets - If you drove like a hooligan in your local area (not that I'm saying you would!), and somebody reported you, the police would be at your door rather promptly...A yellow scoob stands out so much more than the average DBM/ Met Green one...

Just imho of course!

I would, given the choice. I used to have a yellow Saxo and the best bit was finding it. Went to Silverstone last year and just walked straight out and found my car straight away in the middle of thousands of cars. Also, probably quite safe on the road so I've heard cos you can't miss the *******.

OK, so the general opinion is no then

Its a MY00 Sti5 Type R 555 edition, no idea what shade of yellow that was. So far everyone I've spoken too about this has said yuk aswell.

I can imagine it being had to shift when it come to sell it I guess as it's not too everyones taste like a blue or silver car would be.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone

Unhappy

Yellow looks a bit rough IMO, has to be darkish metallic colours. You know they look the coolest.
