Mazda CX-5

[ebowme4867]

My car's aluminum metallic. It doesn't look bad at all, and probably looks less dirty, visually, if put side-by-side with a black or white car with the same amount of dirt. It looks quite elegant but yeah, kinda playing it safe (boring). The soul red of Mazda, though, brings so much character.

I saw different shades of soul red on the internet.eto po bang red ay yung medyo dark red? Parang baduy kasi kung bright red di ba?

Sirs ask ko lang po kasi usual na nababasa ko sa cons ng silver car..boring na color po ba yung aluminum metallic??

White definitely looks better, if you're not OC then it's ok to get it but silver is easier to keep clean. Mazda CX-5 in silver looks good also. Quite hard to explain or visualize. If you really want white then get that color, it's a good choice, some of us here are just OC when it comes to keeping vehicles clean looking.

The Soul Red of Mazda is really nice but might be difficult to find a paint shop that can match the color when it comes to repairs.

Well said sir thanks.. btw, what color is your cx5?

Currently my sedan chevy optra is stunning on its metallic gray color,and i wud like to have the cx5 to be of different color.you are correct,soul red could be difficult to repair,right.. so mas lumalamang na ang pagka lean ko sa aluminum metallic.hehe..

anyway nkita ko na parehas yung white and alum met,kaya nga nalito ako bigla nung makita kong parehas maganda..haay..

Alum met is somewhat may konting hue ang dating.iba siya sa picture,iba sa personal..basta hirap nga i explain yung color.looks luxurious daw?

White is another pogi color.pero ang dami na kasing suv sa road na gantong color.parang gusto ko nman maiba

The CX5's silver reflects its surroundings lalo na kung makintab. Nagiging parang camouflage sya.

Kahit yung blue nila nagiging green depende sa light and angle.

Soul red is ***y though. Kung kaya mo naman maintain (proper car wash, park in covered relatively traffic-free areas) go for it

AFAIK the CX-5 is offered in two shades of red. I forgot what the other one is called (red mica?), but it looks more flat and brighter. The soul red is darker and more metallic.

Pre i-stop CX-5's were offered in Velocity Red. Once the i-stop version came out though, this color has been replaced by Soul Red. Would be hard to judge Soul Red based on internet pics, because different countries have different light shades based on the sunlight that they get. This in turn affects how a camera would render a color. Best to just drop by the showroom and look at the actual car.

The advantage of white is it's more visible than silver during heavy rains. Silver tends to blend with the rain. But you can always turn on position lights during rain.

If this is the shade of soul red, astig! But what i saw in philippine posting were a little bit brighter (not so good)?

That's Soul Red. The surroundings in the picture are drab gray and it looks overcast hence the darker shade. What you might have seen were pics of it in bright sunlight.

The Mazda PH website only mentions Zeal Red Mica and Velocity Red Mica though: http://www.mazda.ph/vehicles/mazda-cx-5/
