Haven't you looked at the brochure ?
I think SUK favour the dark or deep blue mica judging from the MY99 cover. So does the SIDC club rules booklet, and Pete Croney. It's certainly smart looking, but a pain to keep clean.

What's wrong with black.... mines black... and she's wonderful....
Red is too aggressive, everyone has blue and everyone else has green ... my first Impreza was white and it looked very nice in white...
but I only got white because I couldn't get black..... I like black....

I've got silver. Looks pretty good and is highly visible, especially when freshly washed & polished.
Only problem is it always reminds me of the metallic silver Datsun 180B (twin carbs) I had when I was 17 . . .

I need the 4 month delivery time to save the ££££££ to pay for it!, I think I am going for silver because the white isnt good for resale and the blue is a nightmare to clean and red is to aggressive.

LOOK HERE MY RED SCOOBY IS NOT AGGRESSIVE OKAY !!!! 
Actually I liked reddish blue but they stopped making it a couple of months before delivery. I had red instead, the new mica red looks different. Have you had a look at the subaru uk website.
cheers

I had one of those Datsuns many moons ago, it was silver - guess what ! - I painted it black....
Daz may I please send you a picture of my wonderfully beautiful BLACK Impreza complete with Colgate 'pings'
All cars are a pain to keep clean particularly in this weather... Mine is also the Catalunia black from 97 - but she's a 99 WRX import.
My first one was white and I did NOT lose money on the sale after 18 months - so sorry
it's like everything - if someone wants something they'll pay for it.

Ok, so there are loads of silver cars around, and I think it was *THE* colour of '98 so it may a bit too common for some.
There are good reasons though - it hides the dirt brilliantly, and you can't see all of those horrible swirl marks in the lacquer coat like you do with DBM.
It also doesn't fade over time like most red paints and is perhaps more damage resistant - I haven't picked up a single stone chip in 18 months, which is better than most by all accounts.
Cheers,
Alex

Normal (flat) red does look more aggresive, but the new mica red is nice - a new neighbour has just got a red mica one, and it does 'classy' and definitely not aggressive - but change the MY00 wheels!!
That being said, still prefer my DBM, especially with gold 17" OZs and new clear indicators!!!

Silver has got to be the best colour(i've ordered mine from gertjan, april arrive soon).
I've got a 14 year old astra gte at moment in silver, and the dirt just falls off (with a little persausion), ware and tear wise the only place that the paint has damaged is on the wing mirrors, so silver does last.

Mine is on order in Silver. Why? The only solid you can get is white, a sod to clean but can be good at getting people out of the way cos they think you could be police (had a white Cortina 18 years ago - people moved over 'just in case')! I have had enough red cars over recent years, in danger of becoming predictable. Green is for farmers (flame suit on). Blue is just too popular it seems and I can't afford the gold alloys to complete the look! That leaves silver. Never had a silver car before, I think it looks quite good and perhaps a bit less of a 'Colin/Richard' copy.
In case I upset anyone - I do like the green really . . . .
. . . especially on Foresters, Discoveries and Range Rovers!

I have a white STI type-R. I have only ever seen 1 other, and 1 STI-RA. I think its a good colour- looks good when its clean - and different than all the other common Scoobies. As for the re-sale value. I really dont think that the STI would be different because its white. Maybe with other cars - but not the STI. It looks good in white!

There is a White Type R in Bristol, it looks like a beached whale/carlton at a distance.
Rally Blue is THE colour to have. Shame you don't seem to be able to get it these days. Sonic Blue (22b etc) seems pale by comparison.

Have to agree with Grubby, I have a Silver MY00 on order too...looks fantastic esp now the mirrors/door handles are colour-coded..
Not sure whether the dirt will fall off it though Ray - will be well pleased if it does though !
