Change colour - to Sapphire Blue?

stallturn · Post by **stallturn** » Thu Sep 17, 2020 2:30 pm

I have ordered a new Macan Turbo in Night Blue (the same as my old one). Now having thoughts that this is too staid, and thinking of Sapphire Blue instead. I have seen one in the flesh and like the colour.
I know colour is very subjective, but am looking for some feedback as to whether Sapphire Blue is a colour that can be attractive initially, but becomes too bright/brash after a while and thus I would feel 'tired' of it. I feel this would happen with Carmine Red, for example.
Any views?

IMHO Sapphire is a great Macan colour, bright enough to look good but not that bright that you feel as though your driving round with a flashing light on the roof. There was a guy who had a Sapphire SD around here a while ago and I always thought it looked smart and not overly showy.
Now if you really want to make a statement, I actually spotted a bright yellow Turbo in my local town last week. That certainly got everybody's attention.

3+ months in and I still think it's a great colour. It gets complimented on regularly too.

The Macan colour choices are sparse, but this is one of the best ones IMHO.

11 months of ownership and I'm not bored of the colour yet. Voodoo Blue next colour choice for me I think

Now if it had been grey...........

Had my Sapphire GTS for nearly 4 years and Iove the colour. It also got so many positive comments from other members of the public. If ordering again I would likely go for Sapphire again as I like it so much.

Had a Sapphire SD for 9 months and a Sapphire GTS for 3 1/2 years; never tired of it and always drew compliments (especially in the sunshine)

I always regretted not ordering Sapphire on my first Macan. Didn't make that mistake again. I think it is a bit like BMW's Estoril Blue.

I had a Sapphire Blue SD for five years and never tired of it. SWMBO told me that if I really had to change my car then I had to change the colour which is one of the reasons why my GTS is Carmine Red. Mind you, six weeks in and I still think it's exactly the right colour.

One of my favourite colours....but after similar on a 911, a golf R and a Scooby I got fed up of the swirl marks!!!!

Looks great but hard to keep looking great, especially in strong sunlight

All Porsches should be yellow!
