Thoughts On Mars Red?

Hi everyone! So I'm going to be getting a Mars Red Mk7 for my first car and am still pondering a bit over the colour. I like the mk7 a lot and it is a lot nicer than it's competitors and I would like a colour that looks good but is still a bit different.

The car is a 1.4 3dr in Zetec trim with no dress up kit and would like to know your thoughts on it. It looks different in every light I see it in from a coppery type colour to a bright orange in bright sunlight. I will attach some pictures from google images as the ones I have of the particular car aren't very good.

    Do you mean that Squeeze green or whatever it's called? Really love that colour.

    I personally really like Mars Red but was just wondering what everyone else thought of it as I have a very strange taste in cars haha.

    Welcome! I can't say I've seen any Fiestas in that colour, so you will definitely have a unique factor! It looks like a colour you have to see properly to decide on. I like the look of it more in the second picture than the first, though I would have to be really persuaded to buy a red car anyway! I prefer monochrome coloured cars. And then there's mine, that I just saw and fell in love with!

    It looks different in every light. If it helps it's that colour that Ford've been marketing the Ecosport with. I really like the colour and haven't seen any others in it; there's only 15 of them on autotrader! Will definitely put some pics up in this thread when I get the chance!

    I've just walked past one parked on my street. Looked red initially but a bit more orangey as I got closer.
