I've recently ordered a Puma in the colour Magnetic. I just wondered how long that colour had been in the Ford range?

 

Mk3.5 Focus/Mk7.5 Fiesta so around 5 years.  

I must admit, it seems to do well at hiding dust!  Just a shame about the screws and coins that stick to it.

Handy for storing spanners and other tools though. 

I had a 2014 Mk3.5 Focus in Magnetic.

It was available on the Mustang before that.

Same here ... love the colour so much my Mk 4 Focus bought last year also had to come in Magnetic.

Magnetic is my favourite Ford colour, and I must have the only model that it doesn't come in 😥
Strange how the MK3 ST didn't come in Magnetic but it did on the ST-Line and RS.

I had my eye on the ST-Line X Estate in Magnetic before I went mad and got an ST Estate,
but finding one in 1.5 Petrol (182PS) engine was near impossible at the time.

The US got Magnetic ST's though, this would look so good in Estate form.

 

To be honest, Magnetic was the second choice for me. I loved the Puma in "Desert Island Blue" and on the Ford site as you were building the car, it looked a million dollars but as soon as I decided to up-spec to the Vignale, the Desert Island Blue looked terrible IMHO. The problem is that the Vignale adds quite a bit of chrome trim (which I don't really like) but the blue and chrome combo looked terrible to me. I went through the colours to find one that didn't make the chrome stand out and that's how I ended up with Magnetic. I saw a Puma ST in the showroom in Magnetic and it looked gorgeous...... obviously no chrome. Hopefully my Vignale will look good in Magnetic when it finally arrives.  At least 8 weeks still to go 😔
