Totally subjective I know but what’s the views on Miami Blue? Don’t think I have ever seen one pictured on here as an owners car

Deciding whether to change my 2016 Sapphire GTS and toying over colours. Won’t do black or dark colours so that’s also grey and Night blue out. Not Mamba either. Had plenty of white cars and think their day has maybe gone so leaves
Miami blue
Carmine Red
Crayon
Silver
Sapphire

Still love Sapphire and any other choice may feel like second best. Kinda tempted by Miami but may be a step too far and not great for resale, also the extra costs isn’t welcome. Never had a red car and in the past thought Carmine was a bit dull but may be in consideration. Crayon nice but maybe a bit dull and flat

Silver I would like to see in the flesh, can look good but also a bit bland maybe as I like it to be pretty bright and striking.

Pointless post I know sorry :D

Miami and Mamba are acquired tastes and so very divisive.

No good to you I know, but here is a link to a GTS demo that's for sale.

I have gone completely the opposite way over Miami Blue.
At first, I didn't like it, but now I love it.

My wife isn't keen on the colour, and for that reason only, I wouldn't spec one in Miami Blue, but I do think it is one of those colours that have the Marmite effect.

To a similar degree, Crayon, this is another colour that has grown on me.

I have seen Porsche's in Miami Blue on the road, and they look great.

Honest view, Miami looks awful on a Macan but brilliant on a Boxster/Cayman.

I like Mamba but when I saw it in the flesh on a Macan I found it pretty underwhelming.

I had Carmine on my last Macan and loved it, gave the car real presence and out of all the standard available colours it would be my choice.

I was intending to spec Sapphire on my current Macan but then had the opportunity to get a PTS in Voodoo and snapped it up.

Some pics for your delectation.

Agree, ( I have and like bright blue cars ) in voodoo the Macan looks great but had a Miami Macan demo for a morning and it looked awful in the day light. In contrast saw a Miami Cayman on the road just this afternoon and it suited it really well 😎

Where is Voodoo Blue on the colour options? I've never seen this.

Voodoo Blue is a Paint To Sample (PTS) colour. There was a thread in the forum showing the trouble one buyer had when trying to match the colour following a minor scrape.

I agree with others that have said Miami Blue is fantastic on either Boxster or or Cayman but not (for me anyway) on a Macan.

Voodoo does look great but not totally sold on Miami so think I will drop it from options.

So it’s probably Sapphire, Carmine, Crayon or Dolomite and the fact some of those cost £1000 more than others isn’t lost on me.

Or simply keep the Sapphire I have!
