Somewhere in North Norfolk

I'm test driving a car tomorrow.

It's a nice car, though a bit on the high side in terms of mileage, with a terrific spec.

It's red which is putting me off and I don't know why. It looks good in red and it's a nice enough shade. I don't understand my reticence.

So, please give me your thoughts on red cars please. Do you like them or not? Would/do you have one? Why or why not?

Titz Towers, North Notts

Mine's red and the only problem I have is if I'm being followed by a black car and the local rozzers are playing car snooker. I try to keep a low scoring car behind me if possible.

I have heard that red cars attract more attention, including that of the Constabulary. I don't know if it's true.

"What kind of red?"

Uhh a very red red.

Not a dark red. Just red. Flat red, not metallic.

I have a preference for blow job red cars, but that sounds ok. I love red cars

I love red cars. I like to be seen by other road users. I'm not sure why so many cars are Road coloured. .. doesn't make sense to me

The right car can look awesome in red. Just be aware that red fades worse than any other colour and in time each body panel will be a different colour. Sometimes a good MOPing can help unless the paint is lacquered, in which case you're either stuck with it or it's a respray job.

I have a red car, partly because my previous car was dark blue and a Spanish lorry wrote it off, on a dark rainy night, on the motorway. I deliberately went for red, as I decided it would be seen more easily. And I've had lots of comments on it, as it's a great shade of red.

Every make of car has it's perfect colour (to me anyway). My dream cars are always a particular colour depending on the make. For instance my Austin Healey 3000 would be blue and white with a white leather interior.

What make of car are you test driving?

Actually it's the same red in many cases, rosso corsa. Especially since Fiat have owned Ferrari.

Doesn't it depend on the shade of lipstick the giver is wearing?

I'm planning on going to look at a bright red one this week- although it's rather over priced so I might end up looking at an identical one in silver if they're not budging much on price

Would it be what Lamborghini call 'Rosso sangue'?

Yea we had an Audi Coupe in red and it faded terribly.

I understood that statistically red cars are involved in more accidents than any other coloured car ... (no mine is Silver) !!!

That used to be case and mainly because there were more red cars on the road than any other colour.

In the UK (with numbers of vehicles taken into account) I think it's green now.

All the research I've seen says black cars are involved in the highest proportion of accidents and white and yellow cars in the fewest.

My sister had a yellow fiesta - she would have skewed that statistic!

I've got a brain like a sieve today.
