    my p5 is going thunk, thunk....ideas on what it could be?

    Back to the real issue at hand, you might be right about this one. I've done that before after folding the seats down. Surely enough, that dangling seatbelt was the culprit.

    my p5 is going thunk, thunk....ideas on what it could be?

    I agree with you Humvee. Honda's don't rattle, even if it's a Civic DX that's only 10-12k. $20k or $30k. It doesn't matter. Both is still a major investment. Do you want a brand new cd-player in your car that skips for no reason? Do you want a brand new tv's picture to blur once in a...

    2003's now with a 100 watt sub?

    There is a new subwoofer as in accessory in the Mid-Cycle refresh. If you ask most salespeople, they have no idea what you're talking about. If you go to the Mazdausa.com website and try to locate a P5, you'll see that some of them do list a subwoofer as an accessory. By the way, I'm sick of...

    my p5 is going thunk, thunk....ideas on what it could be?

    Check your car jack in the hatch, passenger side. The bolt that holds the jack in place might be loose or displaced. That was my solution for my problem. Hope that was it.

    P5 good...Mazda bad

    Shouldn't the approval process have been completed before you sign papers for the car?

    Add to that, I hate cupholders in front of radio and temperature controls.

    Ugliest P5 I've EVER SEEN!!!

    Damn, I think it's ugly. Why? Because it's on a car instead of paper or a wall or something. It's beautiful artwork, but not meant to be on a car. Think like this and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble in life. Let people say whatever they want, it might be nice, it might be mean. If...

    Mazda 6 Vs. Protege 5

    True. Most of the time, it's the driver. Maybe he really doesn't wanna raise, but he's just hinting to you that he could. (Rev, rev.) Then there are folks that want to race, think they're fast because they drive stick, but they don't drive stick that well and get their ass wooped. My friend...

    Pics of my P5, along with the door ding

    Maybe the "Ding King" as seen on tv might help?? I don't think it really works, but for your ding specifically, it looks like it can work.

    Mazda 6 Vs. Protege 5

    The Mazda6 is sweet period. If anyone's getting it though, they have to get the sport package because it doesn't look that great without the body kit and spoiler. Also, if you do get the sport package, you also have to get the V6. Why? Because with the I4, the sport package is not standard...

    New Info on Mazdaspeed P5

    I'm glad you got yours bud. It was like that for me too. They are selling well too. Matter of fact, they sold more than 80,000 P5's last year. They're expecting more again this year so let's hope Mazda will continue moving in the right direction. Considering the new Protege is expected for...

    New Info on Mazdaspeed P5

    Oh, I did get some Sure Info about the 2003.5 P5 though. You have the option of getting it with or without the roof rack. That is, if you order it instead of pick one out of the dealer lot. When you do order one without the roof rack, you won't get those annoying bumps on top. It's a smooth...

    New Info on Mazdaspeed P5

    As most of you have heard, there are rumors flying around about a Mazdaspeed P5. I've been visiting a lot of Mazda dealers lately because my little brother wants to buy a 2003 P5 and a few of them are saying some things. There is no timeline exactly, but expect to see a Mazdaspeed P5 and...

    List Of Problems?

    I know what you mean cvcbd. I was actually in the trunk trying to put the car jack back in the hole. (Yeah, finally figured out how to put it back in.) It is quite roomy in there. But if you want a roomy back, try to new Honda Element. It's butt ugly, but damn, all three rows of seats...

    More strange noises! Argh

    It's most likely the axle. I had a 90 Accord that had the same problem. Knocking sound when I turn only. My bro-in-law is a mechanic and had to change the axle. Your car should be rather new so most likely it's a leak like he said above.

    Smoked a GS-R today

    Maybe you smoked them cuz they were just laughing at you. "What the hell is he thinking?" I love my P5, but you have to get back to reality. Our car handles and looks good and all, but gimme a break. It's not that quick! Just to let you know, I also smoked my friend in a 1996 Honda...

    List Of Problems?

    Hahaha, I can see you guys didn't read my book of problems. But to LittleRedWagon, I did take my cushions out but the bump is still there. Hmmmm...Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I guess I'll have to check it out again and get back to you. And also, trust me on this. I wouldn't trade my P5 for...

    stock 17"S on protege5

    It's different when you're female and pretty. I don't know about your ex-coworker being pretty or not, but I'm in retail and my female coworkers have less trouble influencing people to buy stuff. In general though, you better know everything there is to know about what you sell or you'll never...
