Default Miami Blue

Ok finally put a deposit down on the above color, but now having second thoughts. Is Miami Blue to over the top. My two fav colors are racing yellow and Miami blue, both hard to find, but found a cpo one that was a $91k sticker and got it for $67k, which I think is a pretty good deal.

i usually go with my gut first choice. Anyone else have Miami Blue?

Miami Blue is a striking color and looks very nice on the road. It is a bit like red. Not subtle but if you don't mind not blending in and being seen it is great.

GT silver is my pick as a classic Porsche color and it kind of blends in and not a stand out color like Miami Blue. It is personal and if you like it you should get it.

Miami Blue Boxster. It is not too over the top. Some review described it as "just this side of obnoxious".

Everyone loves Miami Blue. I hear things like "that's the best color I've every seen on a car". Miami Blue makes people happy.

These are sports cars, not hearses.

I got the Bose, for no good reason. Never listen to music.

$91k - $67k should cover an aftermarket radio.

If you like the Miami Blue, go with it.
I liked the Racing Yellow, went with it, and get compliments everywhere.

I have the basic sound system and I like it--although it doesn't come up to the $$,$$$ home system. With the top down and on the open road listening to music would badly affect my hearing anyway.

I ordered a Miami Blue CGTS. I saw the color on a Cayman at night in Austin two years ago, and my Id locked on and would not let go. I love racy, exciting colors.

I think Miami Blue is an amazing color and wouldn't hesitate to own one that color.

My wife, however, hates it and has barred me from considering it.

I've never been a fan of yellow... except for the Integra Type R in Phoenix Yellow. That car always worked for me for some reason.

To each their own. Buy what "moves" you.

I have a Miami Blue Cayman, and love it every day. So many compliments, everybody thinks the "smurf mobile" looks hot! Go with your gut, you won't regret.

$91k down to $67k? Details?

Miami Blue is awesome. Do it. Life is too short for boring colors!

You can't go wrong with a Racing Yellow Boxster.
And of course I'm not prejudiced.
