Im in a predicament about the colour to order our VRS. It will be my wife’s daily car and she really likes the hyper green. I actually kinda like it too but I’m worried about the realities of resale value and negative attention (vandalism). If someone is walking down the road feeling like being a ****head it’s her car they’ll do it to.
I actually quite like the dark silver, but she only likes blue as an alternative but isn’t really that keen to not have the green.
Feels a bit silly to be so conservative about a car like this, I know! I guess I just need someone to back me up or slap some sense into me
VRS colour
I went for Velvet Red - my Wife has a Fabia in Velvet Red and it's multi-layer & a very nice colour.
I never would have considered a red car, but the finish on my wife's Fabia changed my mind.
If you're wanting something that will sell easily, then black, white or silver is most common according to auto trader (although this was a few years ago).
Hyper Green is a limited edition, so it will probably benefit your resale value over the "stock" colours.
If you get the car on finance, you could just hand it back after the finance period and then it's Skoda's problem to sell it, not yours.
IMO, if you're going to be driving it for a few years, and you're car proud. Get whatever you want and enjoy it!

Henry Ford once said ‘any customer can have any colour they want as long as it’s black’.
Trouble is I only ever buy red cars which is a £1k option on an Enyaq and £2k on a Tesla, ridiculous when it can’t cost the manufacturer anymore money to paint it red rather than blue.

I went with the “happy wife, happy life” principle. I do like the green, and if you’re going to get a car like that you might as well get the signature colour.
Anyway, let the wait begin I guess. I wonder if they’ll prioritise the vRS to get more of them on the road?
