    2003 PR5 roofrack?

    I know it's been a while since you guys posted your quotes but at least I have an answer to your question. It's not in the manual like you said. However, when you purchased a US Model P5, you were supposed to receive a copy of the "Roof Rack Manual." It's separate from the Owner's manual...

    largest object in trunk/hatch?

    I had a 32" Sony Wega tv w/o the box of course. That damn thing was heavy like hell. I didn't need to fold the seat down and I had it faced backwards. I actually parked it by my garage, plugged it into the a/c outlet and watched my flat screen tv, in the hatch, on my driveway. Now that's a...

    P5 Carbon Fiber Tails ?

    Speaking of black out, it'll be nice to black out the rear lights. Actually, dark smoked is what I really want.

    Help on price of an A/T P5

    Prices are a lot lower now than it was about 6 months ago. I always use Carsdirect.com as a base price. Edmunds.com works but not as well because they give you an estimate, and most of the time the estimate is above invoice. CarsDirect gives you a direct price. When I purchased my 2002.5...

    P5 Carbon Fiber Tails ?

    Very nice Photoshop job. But results are disturbing...just nasty!!! Maybe it might just look okay on a black one.

    2004 Protege5 Concept

    The front kinda resembles the Mazda 6 Sport Concept at a previous autoshow, I don't remember which. I hope they do keep the front the way it is but smoothen out the side and rear. This most likely will happen considering a lot of car companies will show aggressively designed models then tone...

    "Failure to follow traffic device..." NYS Traffic fines?

    I'm not 100% sure but here in California, a running a red light ticket is over $200.

    how many miles at purchase time ?!?!!?

    It's probably been driven pretty hard when being test driven. You know how it is when people test drive it....it's not pretty or good for the car. I personally wouldn't buy a car with that many miles on it cuz it wouldn't feel new to me. If the dealer had to ship the car to you, he shouldn't...

    rear window squirter

    I wish I had a nozzle like my buddy's old Ford Explorer. It was broken so it was pointing up instead of down. So when he wanted to piss someone off or someone pissed him off, he got in front of them and turn his rear wiper on. Of course, the car behind gets splattered. It's the best when the...

    Auto or Manual?

    I know quite a few people with the same problem. "You gotta get stick...I love stick...I want to be in control...It's so much faster.........I hate Southern California traffic...I'm sick of manual...I wish I had an automatic!" I don't know about most folks who live in Southern California like...

    first oil change done

    That much for an oil change? You shouldn't pay more than $20 for an oil change, especially a non-luxury/high performance car. Most prices should be around $15. Firestone near my house charges $16 while Purrfect Auto charges $10 with a coupon. I get mine free because my bro-in-law is a...

    Auto or Manual?

    Of course, the manual will be quicker, with more power. However, to those who drive manuals, just because you do drive a manual doesn't mean that you will beat an automatic in a street race. Most people I know drive a manual like they're in drivers training, yet think their car can beat any...

    Stock tires are biggest setback to handling

    I know what you mean, they are too skinny. The Civic SI has 195/60/15's. If they were 16" wheels, they'd be 205/50/16's. I hate how our car is bigger and supposed to be really sporty, which it is, yet they give us skinny wussy looking tires. When I upgrade to 17" wheels, I'm most likely...

    I think you might need to super glue it on because of the honeycomb grill.

    Does this sound right?

    It also depends on what state you're in. If you read the warranty book provided with your new vehicle, it states the lemon law for every state in the U.S. (If you're in Canada, that might be different.)

    Stock tires are biggest setback to handling

    it'll fit but the size is a little too thick. It won't really mess up anything but your mileage and your speedo. It shouldn't be a big deal though.

    Brakes squeak...

    You know, our brakes don't squeal as much as some from other new cars, even though it should be kinda new on your car. And brakes don't squeak, they squeal. Just some useless info.
