What color is your C? What is the worst color for the C?

Absolutely Red chips so easily. After 40k miles my hood was covered in hundreds of little stone chip spots down to the primer.

I got it repainted by a body shop who mixed their own paint to match and no complaints yet.

 

I've seen a couple of people post on Reddit with the same issue with Absolutely Red. I leave quite a lot of room between myself and the car in front of me, although I have seen stones flung up by other drivers am passing/getting passed by in the other lanes hit my car.

Rather than using Toyota paint, the body shop mixed their own paint to match the color of the rest of the car. They then sanded down the entire hood and repainted it with their color-matched Absolutely Red.

 

Mine is sitting just over 54,000km's, no chips. Guess I'm just lucky!

Mine is the habenaro and I'd say my least favorite would be any of the greys. Always disliked anything grey.

I don't know why but I love the lime green. My husband hates it though!

 

I'd say I like all the colors on the C. The worst to me is the Jade green. It's not so much the color as it is how it affects its overall look. Just the wrong color for this car.

 

You would be correct.

I've got a dark gray metallic, and with the black interior...looks smooth and classy. I used to drive a platinum silver Accent, so automatically silver was out. I don't want to attract a lot of attention so the brighter colors were out, though in the end I was thinking maybe going red as a back up color since it seemed dark gray is hard to find in my area. There are A LOT of blues and personas on the dealership lots. Of course, the very last place I went to had exactly what I was looking for in the color and 4 trim. Who knew this combo was so freakishly hard to locate!?

I don't know if this is true, but I read red cars are one of the top colors to gain police attention (I'm a bit lead footed *grin*), and was told if I ever to re-sell my car, dark gray will have more chance of being bought by both men and women as it's a neutral color. (*shrug*)

I think the least attractive color is any car in pastel color, and was surprised that the C does not look good in silver. Remember this is just my opinion.

 

OMG, why have I never thought of that?!! This car would look great in purple! Lavender or a deeper purple. I honestly would like pink too. I have the moonglow but I like the summer rain. Habernero is ok but not really a fan of the black.

 

Moonglow all the way, i've had 2 of them!

At first my favorite was the habanero, it is very unique and eye-catching. However I now have a summer rain and the color is more subtle, but it is unique as well. These two have to be at the top of my list but the super white fits the c very well too, it has a very clean and sleek look to it. My least favorite has to be black only because it hides the style of the car in my opinion. It doesn't look bad at all, just not my favorite. Anyway all the colors to the c are flattering and this is a very cute car!

 

I chose silver, it is a good color for a really hot area like here. White is also good, but shows dirt to badly. The paint is very nice on the Prius, and the silver shines well.

Mine is black. I don't really care for it since it absorbs heat and shows dirt easily. I live on a gravel road so it is always filthy. I bought it used coming off of a lease, so I didn't have much choice on the color.

 

Mine's silver, I like the way the paint shines after a good washing and waxing.

I have a white Prius C. White cars have always been my favorite color. Not sure which color would be the worst.

 

mine is currently magnetic grey and it chips to high heaven and back. chips everywhere. like 6th sense i see chips people! why is the paint so thin??

 

I wouldn't have bought mine if it weren't red
