According to the Universal Currency Converter, my last speeding ticket cost me about $250.00 US ($345.00 CDN). That was for going 110km/h in a 60km/h zone (like doing 70mph in a 35mph zone). Of course I WAS in a 90km/h zone a few seconds earlier... oh well, that was a couple of years ago, so I'm...

Chevron has 92 and 94 I believe (at least in Vancouver, don't see why it would be any different in Calgary).

Being rare is not enough in and of itself. It's still a matter of supply and demand. There aren't many Ford Pintos around, but they still aren't worth anything because nobody wants one! Ok, I know the MSP shouldn't be compared to a Pinto, but they aren't exactly flying off the shelves now. I...

Well said and informative DistantTea. You summed up nicely talking about looking at the overall package - that's exactly why I bought my MSP, I felt it was the best balance of things that I wanted in a car. I think your driving tips may be handy as I've never driven a turbo before this one and...

Damn, if it was Seattle I'd be there, but Portland is about a 5 hour drive for me. Oh well. :(

Well I'm just north of Washington :)

If you smoked an SS then he wasn't trying (or he's an absolutely bad driver and shouldn't be behind the wheel of a sports car). I used to drive a 1996 Z28 prior to getting my MSP and it was a lot faster. Drivers being equal, a Z28 or SS would blow the MSP away. However if speed were at the...

Regarding the colour: Now that I'm used to the orange I really like it, especially in bright sunlight (not that we've had much of that in Vancouver this April!). Oh and I park my car in downtown vancouver everyday and no one has vandalized it so far. It has also been parked outside bars a couple...

I agree, sunroof and cruise control would be nice. I mentioned to my dealer that I thought the sunroof should have been an option but he pointed out that since the car was made in very limited numbers, Mazda couldn't (or didn't want to) build any variations to try and accommodate different...

My sub worked fine after I reset my stereo, I didn't change anything. I had never disconnected my battery, so maybe that makes a difference, but I doubt it since I had to reset everything else (time, pre-sets etc.)

Re: I feel like an IDIOT !!! No problem. And don't feel dumb, I didn't figure it out either - a friend of mine who knows a lot about car stereos told me to do that :)

My stereo died like that, so I pressed the reset button. It has worked fine ever since. The button is very small and on the faceplate, (use a toothpick or something to press it). It's along the bottom to the left of most of the other buttons. Check your manual if you can't find it.

Yeah, didn't get a good vibe from Signature. Although I know someone who bought a P5 there and she was quite happy.

Leased mine through Langley Mazda (near Vancouver) and had no problems. I went through a different leasing contact that I have and he set me up with them. I was able to get a bit of a discount compared to what I was first quoted when I asked Signature Mazda in Richmond. I had no problems with...

Where in Canada?

I've owned 3 cars with manual transmissions and they were all like that (including my MSP). Not as much when stopped but definitely when you are moving, even slowly.

I'll try to snap a pic on the weekend if I can. I live close to it. I was by there the other night and there looked to be maybe 20 or so Orange ones still there.

Snow? I live in Canada and I've never used winter tires! I just don't drive on the 1 or 2 days a year when there is snow on the ground - or 0 days this year :) Sorry, couldn't resist bragging about our west coast weather. Ok so sometimes it is the "wet" coast but hey, no snow at least means...

Well the P5 is incredibly popular here. The other day I saw one in a parking lot, then I drove by one...then another...I saw 5 in under 10 minutes. I see them all over the bloody place. I also saw about 20 Spicey Orange MSPs...but they were at the docks here. :) Not sure why so many are still...

If it's any consolation, I haven't seen it before so I was glad to see it! Looks good.
