What colour you go for?

Be interesting to see the colour choices of those who've pulled the trigger.

TBH, though the Stratford Gold would always have been my preferred choice (and Dynamic Red second, as I was looking at that for the S5), it wouldn't really have been a deal breaker if it had been any of the other colours. The car was available 'immediately' and the price was 'exceptional' for the time. The only colour I may have baulked at was Arctic White, but only as that was my MG5's colour and I didn't really want the same colour again. After all, the neighbours must be informed I have a brand new car without me having to tell them!

Edit: grey seats.

Again, beige would have been nice, and I probably would have chosen it if that option had been available to me. It wasn't. I was looking for an ex demo but ended up with a pre-reg on account of the price. You get what you get!

It would be great if people would also post btw the paint colour/interior colour they went for.

As mentioned in another thread.... Stratford Gold/Cream

Would have made the poll very complicated with 14 possible answers but a comment no problem.

Stratford Gold / grey

I went for Camden Grey with beige interior. The dynamic red and Stratford gold look really good but I tried to keep away from tri-coat colour. My now sold HS was a tri-coat pearl white, knowing MG paint is wafer thin it was an absolute pig to touch up paint chip matching the colour.

Ok,I have tri coat and that thought had occurred to me….

Stratford Gold was the standard option here in Norway, and I thought it looked quite nice, but the wife vetoed it. She said it made it look like an old peoples car. She wanted white, so what choice did I have? And having got it, it does enhance the shape of the car better than the Stratford Gold, and with black rims I think it looks really good. Grey interior. I've got small kids so...

Had cream/beige interior in the Passat, but that was all leather, and real leather, so easy to clean.
And while on that topic, what's wrong with real leather? All you get now is "vegan leather" because of enviromentalists. Seriously, how's plastic better than a renewable source? Leather is also easy to repair, which is NOT the case with plastic "leather". I just don't get it!

Agree, think it's called Pleather.

Sorry you have to wait. Pick up in a week and a half time.

Yup, highest grade Pleather so it is.

Looking at the results so far I find it interesting that the blue and silver are not featured, thinking about when at different dealers doing my initial research I saw all the other colours either as demos or in the showrooms.

Has anyone seen them in the flesh? Just wondering if they've arrived yet......

My local dealer (T.Wells) had Red, Blue and Black and another localish dealer (Maidstone) had the Gold/Grey Interior. Dealer in Sheffield (visiting) had Blue, Red and the Version I ordered on return to hotel Stratford Gold/Cream Interior.

Didn't see Silver at all.

To make the most of the "dealer contributions" I was offered, I had the choice of Camden Grey or Black...

I went with the Grey, and have had several people say that they like the colour!

And with that Camden Grey takes the lead.

I went with the blue as I wanted to be different. Fed up of White/Black/Grey/Silver cars (try finding a black vauxhall Zafira in a supermarket carpark!) The Mrs hates red cars and the gold reminds me of what's left on the floor when a patient has an accident at work

I originally went for silver, as it shows the dirt less and the demonstrator I drove was silver and it looked great - but on the day, they didn't have one available in March. As I didn't want to wait and lose the massive discount, I went for black with grey interior which is really nice!

and the gold reminds me of what's left on the floor when a patient has an accident at work

I cannot unthink/see that, just as I cannot change my order with the lease company!!!!
