When I first set out to get this car I discounted silver from the brochure. My last car, a Honda Odyssey, was silver and it didn't ever WOW me. In my local Mazda I saw black, red, and sky blue. My lean was towards red or black but I also needed to see a white. I also wanted those in a sand interior. Since my local dealer was offering me little for my trade I opened up the search to other states. I made appointments at some other dealers on a route for a vacation I was taking and when I pulled into this one dealership in Delaware and saw the silver all waxed up (they knew I was coming and had the fever) my search was over.
The other dealers had some of the reds and blacks and whites but this one was so much of a deeper, darker silver than my Odyssey that I fell in love with it. The way the black trim, tinted windows and big lighter silver wheels played off the deep silver metallic color was striking.
Plus it was fully loaded unlike some of the others. I set out to get a FWD without tech package and put in NAV later. But this one spoke to me and I'm so glad I reached deeper into my wallet.
