| What does everybody think of this Copper Red Mica? Is this a color that's still going to look mainstream in a few years? Is it gender-neutral? Just curious what people think. | |

Replying to: needsomezoom (Dec 28, 2006 6:41 pm) It's a nice color... I almost bought it except I couldn't find one with the options I wanted. I did find one that had everything except Sirius, but I decide against having the dealer install it as an option since they didn't seem confident about what was needed to add it. I went with pearl white instead with an all black GT interior. My wife wanted the red as 1st choice with sand interior, white with sand as second choice. I also liked the ice blue but they didn't have one equipped as I wanted either.

I hear you on the teal... can still see the Miami-Vice-blue Explorers with the green pinstripe. But Mazda is really playing up the red in the brochure... and the copper red is closer to red than teal blue to blue. Maybe I'm just trying to talk myself into it because it has the options that I want on the lot already.

But hey, if the copper is the one that makes your blood boil, go for it. Just be aware that at SOME point down the road, you or a potential buyer might go "wow, was this color that cool back in '07?" Or, it might not even matter after years of happiness and satisfaction with your copper CX-7. |

Our last two trips in Oct. and Dec. going up in the Ozarks Mnts. We average over all gas milage of 25mpg in Oct. The weather was really cold and rainy in Dec. and we only average over all 23.8mpg. It is a blast to drive. At night it is especially fun with the lighting inside. It is a soft blue with red/black back ground. You feel like you are in a cockpit.

Truthfully, I would have taken almost any color but my wife really wanted red and was willing to accept white. The only other colors they had were maybe the Black Cherry or the Grey. I don't think any of them are really bad colors. I also like the fact that I ended up with an all black interior when originally we wanted the two tone sand.

Replying to: vbbuilt (Jan 25, 2007 12:07 pm) As for the dealer, I believe that it was just that it was under new ownership and since it was afterhours the sales manager was trying to figure it out himself. The actual service shop has been around and is located further down the road combined with a Mitsubishi dealer that I had good experiances with. I probably would have been uncomfortable with any dealer taking things apart to add the module and antenna on my brand new car. |
