Mica red rocks n looks awesome when dirty to imo. As said it's a rare colour on classics which makes it cool in my book. Nothing worst than feeling common Below isn't even polished/waxed, jus a quick wash n spray with a detailer.

That is a truly beautiful colour... kinda matches the car better than i thought.. probably due to the wheels too.

Nice mate.

Mica red is acceptable. Straight red belongs to Ferrari and 1.9 GTi's

I believe Red is an unlucky colour (for me anyway). Had a Red XR3i (now thats a car ) for 3 days and crashed it, got it fixed then crashed it again 2 months later. Now this was the late 80s when there was alot of "raves" on the go so either bad luck or too much of something good!

Seriously, like the mica red, but less keen on the solid red. Scoobs look good in lots of colours : black, silver, met green, hey, even sonic blue isn't that bad !

Just depends on what car it's on. Some cars suit Red more than others.

The only car I considered getting in Red, was a Audi S3. Didn't buy it in the end, but I've never thought about getting any other Car in Red since.

I'd never buy a Ferrari in Red either. Too common.

Red was always the only colour Impreza I wouldn't consider buying, just don't like them I'm afraid!
