Hello, I visited my Local Mazda dealer with a hefty deposit to put down on a new MPS (3). I wanted the car in white, however I was told that they cannot get the car in that colour, they offered me Grey or black. Are there issues with getting the car in white? Any ideas?

If it's new car could be that all the whites have been sold, think they build them in batches and White is very popular. When I got mine I rang every Mazda dealer in west yorkshire and knowone could get hold of a White one, luckily found somewhere that a um registered demo on route that was White. Get ringing around

Nice 1, im getting in touch with as many dealers as possible, my 2nd choice would be the grey, but I think in white it sets the car off a treat! I would be willing to hold off if they can source one.

If white is really, really popoular other dealers won't release it.

....Even if they were to get a sale? I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that if you are buying a new car and are not able to get it in the colour you want.

I think the Mps is pretty limited on numbers anyway and I think White was the most popular(common) colour! Go with the aluminium silver

... The more I look at it in silver, the better it is looking, think I could live with that, no worries. I saw one with gunmetal alloys (v smart).

Buy the silver one

There is a cracking picture of a modded silver one on here somewhere........

I agree the silver is a bit special and the white is so is the black and so is red

Neither the old or new 3 MPS came in Grey. New one is Black,Aluminium,CWP or Velocity Red (the best of course ).

Which colour was featured in the promo pictures and still featured in the brochure ?.....Velocity Red

I had mine Diamondbrited and the dirt literally falls off the paintwork. Come winter your's is going to be Crystal Sludge Brown

Seriously though,good choice and enjoy whatever colour you choose.
