Where's the love? The 2006 has a black interior except for the seats and carpet.

For me, the exterior color is meh. It's the all-blue interior that I can't get over.
They're in better condition because the owner's are usually too embarrassed to drive them in the daytime. i kid i kid.

I love our 2006 Suzuka Blue. As mentioned before, the interior is a mix of blue and black, and easier on the eyes than all blue. That said, I came from a 1991 MR2 (all blue in and out), and blue is my favorite color. I also happen to fit into the "older demographic.:

I actually don't mind Suzuka. I've seen some that look pretty cool. I personally couldn't get pass the interior and didn't feel like swapping it.

My wife likes the Suzuka Blue. Reminds her of the Avignon Blue of one of her earlier Civics. Avignon? On a Honda!? Ours is silver, of course, just like the Honda outboard on our boat.

Periwinkle is a Miata color, right?
No, but they had Smurf Blue for a few years...
Mazda's "Smurf Blue" looked way better on their cars than that Suzuka blue does on ours IMO.


Blue was the one color I refused to buy an S in. Especially with that gaudy blue interior... Eugh. Sorry to anyone who may own one, it's just not my cup lol. To each their own

I can't STAND the all blue interiors! I've seen some sexy AP2 Suzuka's with black interior and black soft top which look good, but I feel if you put a GPW or RYP in that same guy's hands we would see an even more amazing looking car. I like the Later AP2 Dark blue I must say, but the "periwinkle" is not for me!

Those may not have been swapped interiors, but rather the MY06 with the rare blue-black interior. Clazzio's on my seats for protection!

2Kaputnik:

Your Suzuka is in A+++++ condition, If I was receiving your car as my Suzuka blue I would not mind! It's in WAY better condition than my GPW to be honest

^^^ Thanks! There may be some truth to the earlier post about Suzuka being an old guy's color, and that we drive less
