I got Sunlight Silver and have zero regrets as it is one sharp lookin ride.
If this was a perfect world where speeding tickets did not exist I might have gone with the Red Exterior and the Red and Black leather interior, I personally think that makes for one sharp lookin hoopdee.
I will never own a Red Car again, no matter what type of Red Car you drive you will always attract more cops than you will women.

When seeing it in pictures, I was set on the Black or Ti-Grey. The blue just didn't look right in any of the pictures I had seen. But when I went to the lot, I was happy to find that the pictures just don't do it justice. I purchased the blue (my last car '02 Protege5 was blue), and there is not a time that I park it and don't look back to admire its beauty.
But I guess that I would do that with any of the colors because car is truly just that beautiful.
Short Answer: No Regrets :D .

absolutely no regrets with the yellow... still feel its the best colour for a sports car, especially the rx8 yellow, not those ugly yellow wrx or s2k dull yellows...
but definitely with the rx8 colours, u cant go wrong with any.... with the expection of GE appliance white in '05... if it happens...

I went with the yellow and have not regretted it for a second. Yellow does not work on anything other than a sports car and since it is getting discontinued next year, it will be extremely rare. That makes me even happier.
I also liked the titanium and the red, but my 1st generation was red, and while I loved that car, I really didn't want to do the same color again. My wife didn't like the titanium and I have to keep in mind the all important wife factor. (That doesn't mean she gets to drive it though.)
As for the black, good luck keeping it looking nice. Black looks beautiful when it has that mirror finish, but it shows dirt like no other color and any little scratch seems magnified by 10 times. I've had a black car before and I can say with absolutely certainty that I will never, ever have one again.
Just my $.02. Hope you like whatever you chose!

Wut da F Y'all lookin' @!
I love the way it looks in Black. The Nordic Green and the Blue look great to me and I would have probably taken either of those colors if they were available at that dealership at the time with the same accessories that I have.

i like my red... but my first choice was titanium. the only thing that pulled me to the red was the red/black interior.... man its so hot. i have no regrets for gettin the red... the only negative is that most of the Perth owners of 8's are Reds.

Almost bot Ti. I would have regretted it. Not because it wasn't nice. But my other car is dark grey as well, so 2 in driveway would have been a bit much. After looking at all the choices, finally decided on Red. I thought I would regret it because of the 2-tone interior. But after getting over the initial self-consciousness of driving a red car, I can honestly say that not only do I not regret getting red, I love it!

When I was buying my car, my choices were between Blue, Red and Grey.
Now, everytime I blow by a police car going 90mph, I think to myself.. Good thing I didn't get red.
And now, everytime I see a Titanium Grey Rx8, I think to myself, another one!! That color's wayyyy too common.
I love my blue and would never reconsider it. Although the Navigation could've done w/o

I had want either red or yellow, but since my wife was letting get the car, I let her pick the color. She picked blue. I like the color, but I have only seen three RX-8 in town counting mine and all three are blue.

Yellow. Every time I see a yellow 8, I thank myself for having the forthought to have BOUGHT a yellow 8. I love the color better than any other car that I ever got on a car before and better than any of the other 8's I've seen. It's the color for me. .
