I used a Toronto based agency to help me with the price. You can figure a MP5 2003 is worth 18,000 base. The MSRP is 21,800. You can negoitate the price on options as well. Eg. leather, auto, A/C etc. I paid 22,400 fully loaded (leather) tax, freight, PDI etc.

It is definatley not the tranny. I was hearing the same noise and took my car to the dealership. Turns out that my tranny needed to be replaced. I don't want to scare anyone by saying that. I thought replacing the tranny would fix the high pitched noise...not the case. I figure the...

Sorry...I have been away for a couple days. My problem was not what you described. It was more whiny then squeaky. Can anyone post a cause/resolution after seeing their dealer?

I bought the car from Ajax Mazda. The whinny noise was heard above and beyond normal engine noise when going apporx. 50km/h or higher. My rpms would would crazy from time to time. Sport mode --> when fully stopped, would not return to first gear automatically. Hope this helps.

Finally got my car back from the dealer. Good news...the noise is gone after the tranny was replaced. The work order did not give any details...they used a lot of codes which I could not make heads or tails of. Service centre was closed, so I did not have a chance to speak to the Service...

My car was a demonstrator. I can only assume that the sales person who drove the car used the sport-mode a lot. I used it when I first got the car, but the novelty wore off pretty fast and stuck to automatic.

Update to tranny problem: I pick up my car tonight. I took it to a second dealership for another opinion. They told me the same thing...the tranny needs to be replaced. I will post the results tomorrow. I am a little dissapointed that they are replacing it with a re-manufactured tranny and...

The whinny noise is heard when I give it gas. I have an automatic with sport mode and noticed also that when I stop at a light (in sport mode) the car did not return to first gear sometimes. It also seemed to bounce when shifting gears. My car has 11,000 kms. No mods yet. I have it at the...

Had my P5 for just over a month. Tranny needs to be replaced. I posted before about a whinning noise when I give it gas...well Mazda informed me that they need to replace the tranny. Thank God for warranty!

No, I have no mods...just bought it. Never drove an import before. Maybe the noise is normal. A little annoying, maybe I will drop it by the dealer. Thinking about a CAI. Just worried about mileage if I install one.

Has anyone noticed a whinning noise from the engine of their MP5. When ever I give it gas, I hear a higher pitched noise that differs from engine revs. Is this normal? (dunno)
