Starting a fight?

White > every other colour

 

My Copen is silver with red leather seats. He is a 2005 659cc UK model.
(The Copen in my profile picture is mine)

I personally think Copen's look best in white with the Recaro seats, although I really like them in all other colours too and silver too as long as is is clean and has been polished and waxed, because silver can look boring when not kept shiny and clean!

 

Mayyybe its white with a red leather interior (which would also be the best interior colour..apart from white)

The good thing is that you can customise your car very easily. Do not like the front grille? Pop out 3 plastic rivets and fit a different one. Do not like the seats? Remove 4 screws and put in new ones etc.

 

Have you ever seen one live or sat in one?

 

For such a unique car, I’d go for yellow or red with red leather. However, they’re getting rarer so my advice would be to buy the best available at your target price and just enjoy driving it.

If you’re importing, make sure you get it fully under sealed before you put it on our roads.

I quite fancy a Honda S600 but don’t let Noddy hear me say that.

 

I agree, the S660 sounds like loads of fun and it is on my list of cars I want to drive someday
(Don't worry, I won't tell noddy if you won't tell Sachihiro )

 

Basically just repeating what BarnsleyRob just said, Protection against rust is super important for Copen's! We need to protect as many of these little cuties as possible!
I don't wanna see them rust away ;-;

 

LOL

 

All colors are good. The best color is the one you like best (hard to decide when you can have only 1).

My opinion on the colors: white - clean, beautiful, pure; champagne - rich & rare (I nearly got that colour); dark grey is deep, mechanical; red - luscious, my favorite colour; pearl white - yum, creamy, bit more to it than white; yellow - happy; dark green - British racing green, looks great with tan leather; dark blue - with red seats it really reminds me of some national flags; black - didn't care for it on the Copen; purple is rich, reminds me in good ways of an old truck my grandma had.

I live in Japan & indoor car storage is rare, so the sun is hard on car paint. Old red cars here are faded & red paint holds up poorly; yellow fades also, not so bad. Nearly got a yellow one, because it is so happy. My 3 previous cars were grey / silver & I was bored with that colour, but with red leather seats it looks classic. And I love leather - rare in Japan. Silver + red leather =d my favorite combination. Loved the feel of the Recaro seats, black cloth was fine, but I prefer how the red leather seats look. Silver holds up well in sun, too; red is protected (a little) inside the car. I usually have a car cover on the Copen to keep it cleaner.

I considered a Honda S660 but prefer the Copen. The Honda is probably a better sports car, being mid engine & rear wheel drive. Driver sits lower to the ground than in a Copen (tried an Audi TT - I used to want a TT but didn't like after I tried it & learned more - & the TT seat was surprisingly high up). The cockpit wraps around the driver nicely. It feels more like a motorbike with doors & a roof. Things I didn't like about the Honda: huge roll bar makes it feel less like a convertible. Even less storage space than in a Copen. Big blind spots, hard to see behind. Overall, the Honda is more focused on the driving experience, but there are compromises. I was curious about a Honda Beat but it doesn't have airbags. I'd like a little bit of safety.
