   black cars don't show up as good at night and the curves aren't as noticeable as shadowing blends into the paintwork. Think the black saxo's look more mysterious and manly so probably just go with black. Never have black alloys though.
   
   for me regarding saxo's
   
   1. White
   2. Silver
   3. Black
   4. Blue
   5. Green
   6. Gold
   7. Burgundy
   
   Is there a red one?

   well if you have always had your heart set on a black one then just look around and take your time because you don't want to regret your final choice

   my mate had an icelandic grey 1 it looked sweet.
   he's now got a wicked red 1 which is also nice but prefer the icey grey as not very common

    my mates got a black one and i got a posi blue one, black ones look great when they are clean. But black gets dirty quick. Blues probably easier found? just go for the one you want, think about what you want to do to it and what others have done. eitheir choice isa good one

    tis a good point which is really what im worried about - but to be fair 2 grand for 46,000 miles mk2 2001 saxo seems like a really good deal which requires a lot of thinking regardless of colour

    Mines the black one with the black wheels on your pics above. Not the most flattering shot there! It looks absolutely A1 when it's cleaned, polished and waxed but doesn't stay that way for long. I will honestly say that I will never own another black car again!
    
    If you want something different why not try to find a non metallic red one? I had a Vtr in that colour and loved it!

    Black or blue they both look really good, depends on your choice of 'mods' after that.

    I'd go black, it looks really nice when polished up as said before, plus posi blue is far too common

    Icelandic Grey.
    
    Best colour - too many blue ones about and everyone I know who owns a black car says they will never get another.
