Default Financing Comment and need help with color selection

Hello All
I just registered today for this site because I will be a new tC owner very shortly.

I am not sure how many of you know or not, but there is a College Graduate Finance Program called Scion Solutions for money off the purchase of a Scion along with some other extra's. I will post the link below for you to see.
I just got my Master's Degree from the University of Illinois on Aug 5th, so I will use this service to help me save a few bucks.

My question is regarding color. I love the SuperWhite and Flint Mica. Any advice on what to get? Which color? And why?

Thanks for your help. I look forward to posting more. The posts I have read for the past few months have been very helpful in me picking this car to purchase.

Thanks!
Jimmy

Dude you have a master's and your asking a high school dropout what color to get? LOL I think if you need someone else to decide what kinda color to get then you haven't learned anything in school at all. What happened to independent thinking! Anyway. Get white. Chicks dig that and it looks super clean.

My personal preference is for Super White, but color is as personal a preference as anything else about your car is going to be. If you're looking for practical reasons to choose one color over another, white is much better at camouflaging microswirls and small scratches, and hides the summer pollen that collects between weekly washes much better than anything else. As far as aesthetics, white also contrasts really nicely with the dramatic sunroof of the tC. The car's a looker in any color, though.

If I were to offer practical advice about buying your tC, it'd be to restrain yourself at the dealer options list. All of the good stuff is offered as standard equipment, and most of those dealer add-on parts are easily installed and available for much less elsewhere - check out some of the site's sponsors, and look on the web/eBay for good deals.

Regardless of color, you're going to be getting a solid, sporty, comfortable car, so welcome to the fold and what-not. :D

up to you...
I've got FM. Would I do it again? Absolutely! It's a very unique color. I get compliments all the time.
White's nice, too. It doesn't show the dirt as bad. Living in Florida, I'd probably get the white. Insurance companies will tell you white is safer, also. It's easier to see it.
