Never owned a blue car. This is a very deep blue. Anyone have experience with this colour?

Does it show dirt / salt a lot
Does it show swirling (like black)
Does it touch-up well
Is it prone to fading

I had a color similar (maybe a little darker) on a 2003 MINI. To my eye it showed dirt/salt more than other colors, particularly because of how much depth the color had when clean... it would dull a lot when dirty.
I vaguely remember swirl marks, but not as bad as black.
I never tried touching anything up, can't help you there.
I didn't notice any fading, but my MINI had a white roof, so the hardest hit panel wasn't the blue.

According to a dealer Aegean Blue Metallic on an EX-L or Touring won't be available until sometime in December.

I'm eager to see it myself. Aegean Blue, Rallye Red and Burgundy Night are my three favorites so far. I've seen the other two in person so far on the Civic. Can't wait to see Aegean Blue on a Civic. I hope the Burgundy Night is available on the SI!

Aegean Blue, Canadian mystery! No Aegean Blue shown as a choice when building a 2016 Civic Touring but... the 2016 Civic brochure shows it as one of five Touring colours? Dealer isn't sure yet.

I was looking for this color as well in Canada and have been told it is available for LX and EX trims as well but not for Honda Sensing options

It's listed as a colour for the Touring in the official Civic brochure. Sales Manager wasn't available to confirm what is correct. Website or brochure.

Was going to order the blue one today and was told that they will not be taking any orders until February... At least here in Canada
