    Hello, I am debating between these two colors.

    I've read several threads here and seems like people are happy with Summer Rain Metallic because it's versatile and unique. I haven't seen this in person yet. But seems good for me because I like light blue for small cars in general.

    To my very personal opinion, plain white is too generic. I saw the Moonlight color but I really liked the light green tint. But I am not sure if it's worth to pay $395 more for this once as long as I have another high priority that is Summer Rain.

    What's your preference? Please share :) Thanks a lot.

    Habanero is better. ;) But summer rain was my second choice. It almost looks like the light blue of a Nissan LEAF.

    I think if you buy a car like this - we are all like trend setters. Like the Hipsters of Car Buying Culture. Haha.

    Take a Chance and get Summer Rain. Great modification options on a cool color like that in my opinion!

    Summer Rain - better than the Nissan Leaf blue!

    I usually wouldn't say this about you, but you are wrong, ztanos. Obviously, moonglow is the best for the following reason:

    1) I have one
    2) It's got the word "glow" in it's name

    Thanks a lot for all your replies. I am more inclined to Moonglow. It is more available and I need one soon... Dealers try to reduce the $395 additional charge. Wish me a good luck!

    I own a 2012 Prius C mooglow and love it, I have moonglow because I live in the desert and a white car is really cooler in the summertime temperatures. I also picked moonglow because it has a little yellow tint to the white. Pure white is too bright in the summer sun and there is a bright glare off the hood of the car making it harder to see driving into the sun. Moonglow does not have this problem. It really looks like the moon's color at moonrise in the atmosphere. I see how it got it's name. IMPORTANT. I would never buy a dark color car like green, blue or black for safety reasons. DRIVING at night, a dark color is harder to see. These colors procure a higher chance for a collision accident. Just my personal opinion and feeling...

    Well, I have seen several Summer Rains and I want that color so much! I have silver because when I bought my car a year ago I needed it FAST (driving a rental) and it was what was available. Love the silver, love my C, but wish it were Summer Rain....

    Moon Glow will be great too though!

    Thanks a lot for the replies. I just bought Moonglow :) I really liked Summer Rain, but C Two didn't have Summer Rain. I am happy with Moonglow.

    Your dealer didn't have the C two in summer rain? That sucks... oh well, welcome to the family. :)
