I am planning on buying an xA within the next week or so and the only thing I cant decide on is the color. I cant choose between white, silver, dark grey, or black. Help me decide, which do you like better?

Have you seen the colors in person?

I have seen white and black in person at the dealership. I am leaning towards silver or white, but I am still not sure.

just get what ever you feel comfortable with. you could be unhappy if you let someone else influence your decision.

I have a Polar White xA. I love it, but I _do_ have two chips I have to take care of once I have enough money to buy some langka chip repair gel (or whatever). After getting the white... the other colors seem much more appealing now. Silver, Indigo Ink, Black, and Grey look great. It's really up to you...

just to let you know, it looks like phantom grey is the most popular... so if you wanna join the majority, go phantom grey! :P :P :P

I have the Pearl Black, looks great clean but it's a pain to keep that way. When I buy my next Xa it will be Idigo Blue. Yes, I will be a 2 Xa family....

I got a silver xA a month ago. the dealer said silver as a color has the highest resale., a darker color is more difficult to keep clean. the AC in a scion is like the Echo ( my daughter has one), fairly weak. a lighter color will reflect the heat better. As you can seee, I'm into function rather than esthetics. The silver looks great. If the car never got dirty and chipped, and the AC was stronger, i'd get blue.

i got the indigo blue and not a lot of people have it. it's a very sharp color and yes it gets dirty but so does every other car...the black and white are obviously the easiest to notice dirt on though. silver is the most popular color among all car brands and i guess that would include the phantom grey cuz thats close to silver. i think too many people have the phantom grey and unless you wanna join the crew...i'd pick something else (no offense to anyone). i prob wish i would've gotten the black cuz it's hot as hell but it's def all up to u...I got blue cuz that's my fav color and i always wanted a blue car haha. :wink:

I agree, go with the blue. I saw Batute 's xA and the Blue really stands out on the xA, Made me think about my box for a sec. :lol:

Go with Blue, I just got myself the blue scion after seeing some of the blue xa pics on here and loved the color. I was goin for sliver first, but changed my mind after seeing those pictures.

Yeah, Indigo Ink was a great choice for me. Polar white was a close second though. Everyone in my area has the phantom grey. No one seems to have the blue though. It's weird, cause I see tons of Matrix's with the same color as my XA. Yes, the car is hot, especially with the black dash. And yes, the A/C is a little weak. Luckily, my car's Vin# is before the A/C fix took effect, so I can take my it into the shop and have it adjusted. Which I will do, just as soon as the 90" days of spring hit.
