Me 3. It was either that or the new purple colour, but it looked almost black in some photos. In the end we've put an order in for the Mystery Blue FR. Can't really go wrong with blue.

Not sure whether this helps.. I have an ST in Apollo Blue which looks similar to the Mystery Blue?? Click on this link for some pictures https://1drv.ms/f/s!Ah4tafj2jmu8idNomgWwY3vOTdk0WA

Me 4. Ordered one here in Finland. The reseller told me that Mystery Blue color has not been in production yet and thus they haven't received any show cars. Anyway, the only video I am able to find showing the Mystery Blue color in FR trim is in Motorvision clip in Youtube. I am not allowed to link URLs here so search "Seat Leon im Test - fahrbericht & review neuer seat leon 2017". Video is submitted by Motorvision.

I hope this helps. Would be really nice to see the color in the flesh before buying but what can you do? :)

Not sure what the mystery is in the mystery blue ... you expect something different and it's fairly standard

well i can tell you that its VERY dark Blue, MUCH darker IRL. than on pics. so im gonna change my color to penerius gray instead. Dark blue is a scratch magnet, and everything shows on that color.

hmmm

On the other hand, it is metal color. So, it should stand more tear and wear than normal "matte" colors. I guess good waxing, let's say 2-4 times a year, makes a big difference.

Anyway, I thought this same thing and initially I was about to select the Ice Silver, but those 50 shades of grey do look all the same, don't they? They are bit dull. I've also had so many red cars... there isn't really that much choice, is there? :think:

If only they had brought back Lima green ..... yeah blue was the only good alternative.... I tend to was 3 or 4 times a year so all good .... makes it so much easier to wash when it has good coat of wax
