Everyone always said the 3 (2nd picture) looked purple until I bought the 6. Then it mysteriously turned blue. To be fair, Mazda calls it Stratospheric Blue, but it did turn purplish from certain angles in full sun.
Some nice vehicles here, I'm also surpised that Ladas made it all the way to NZ! I wouldn't mind trying one out sometime but they've all rusted away here...
Here's my beast in action, its actually quite dirty but this angle didn't show it too much. I've got a rear sway bar to put in this spring so hopefully it will stay abit flatter this solo season.
