|  Yellow Octavias... Well, it seems to me that 2 more members have ordered yellow ones!!!  Nice one lads! Yellow is nearly as nice as red!  Regardless, atleast the concentration of blue ones will be diluted a little bit!

 Colour preferences are very much a personal thing, very subjective indeed. Yellow was an easy choice for me. Black is way too hot (I live in Australia, where the sun often shines with considerable venom) and shows the dirt very badly, Red fades too much after 5-10 years (see previous comment on sun), Silver is too common on cars here in Oz (and blends into the road a bit too much) and I just don't like it, White Octys look too much like a fridge on wheels (and that's coming from someone who's last 4 cars were white, and quite liked the look of the white Golf GTI before deciding on a vRS), Blue RS's are way too common and show the dirt more than yellow (due to the drought we have had water restrictions here for the last 4 years, so we aren't allowed to use a hose to wash cars at home). That left yellow as the sole colour standing (blue would have been the next choice). The above are my personal opinions, and seeing as it is my money I'm spending on my car, your opinions don't count for diddley squat (but feel free to express them anyway if it will make you feel better )
