Ara Blue Opinions?

Yea it doesn’t look turquoise to me on the configurator so maybe has changed. I know it looks good whatever it is though
Being a few months old I hadn't noticed this thread before, but seeing as my attention has been drawn to it now I want to very firmly throw my support behind Ara Blue. 
When originally enquiring about an S3 I said it had to be Ara Blue or nothing for me.
Its a beautiful colour...I've never had so many compliments about any car and they all mention the colour.
I love it.

Same i get lots of compliments too - my friend has Daytona FL, we bought at the same time, thats my second choice colour, but he doesnt get the compliments ;p
Yea I love Daytona too it’s a lovely colour, but I don’t think it has quite the wow factor that ara has.
Ara blue is too blue for my own personal taste very abrupt in its tone although it looks spectacular in direct sunshine full of glitter, but nothing beats Daytona in direct sunlight nothing with so many different coloured ceramic particles again but l wouldn't have Daytona either, too much of a green tone going on with it when out of the sun/light again that old cliche = it's all subjective
Well.. if I am completely honest I really do not like it. Far too brash, look at me colour. But.. I’m an old fart and prefer subtle colours. My RS3 was Mythos, my new RS4 is Mythos, my S 3 daily driver is Navarra Blue which just about works in the subtle department. Ara not for me but neither is Red, White, Viper Green!!
“Far to brash look at me”.. from the guy who let us know he has an RS4 and an S3 as a just run around
.. nothing brash or look at me about that..Do like your colour choices though

And there all black black black eh..lol
Think you only went for that Navarra blue S3 instead of black because you got a good deal on otherwise it would been black lol black ain't subtle it's just black

Of course Black is subtle... it's not an in your face look at me colour. and yes Navarra was only because of a cracking deal, why else would you have any other colour apart from Black? Other cars are MG Teal Blue and Silver!!

Floret is awesome ... so much so I could easily have it again

Are we talking about what frock to wear to the party? Colour choice is very personal and also shows a bit about your character. To be very frank a lot of us want to join the herd and not stand out and we dress in the same manner. I say bravo to those who follow their hearts and just say I really like my choice, regardless of what others think, and yes I can spot my car (Ara Blue) in a parking lot easily in a sea of uniformity.
Mind you I am an old fart and conformity I could not care a hoot about.

I'm an old fart too.. but don't want my car to stand out too much based on looks... just a lovely smell of Castrol R would do..
I am somewhat of an old farther myself.....but only relative to Internet car forums wise....in all other ways I don't consider myself old.
Regarding not wanting to stand out from the herd.....my previous car was a current model Civic Type R, so make up your own mind about that.

We all seem to have different views and it will take a lot to change my views.

You have never had a personal plate? Well done for not calling them private plates by the way.
All the expensive flash cars you advertise and you have run of the mill numbers on them?
What exactly is it about personal plates that you dislike so much?
I don't see a problem with personal plates.....I have had mine for 20 years.
