    2005 Saab 9-2X - WRX for Saab

    If I have to choose between the Subrau WRX and the Saab 9-2X, I may actually choose the Saab version. Its quieter and cheaper in insurance while retaining the same power as the subie version. Just my $0.02

    Dealer survey

    My sales guy asked me to put 10 for the survey coz Mazda rates 9 as failure.... I'm not too sure about that as I'm still contemplating whether to fill up the survey or not.... I'm trying to get rid of my extended warranty so I'm just sit on this for a while and see what happens...

    Protege 5 Incentives

    I've never negotiated for a car for more than 15 mins.... :P well, IMHO, I would not have offer him $17K at first and they agreed then come back at $16.5K... coz it reflects pretty bad on myself that I'm very indecisive... who knows... he might just forget about me and look for other customers...

    Protege 5 Incentives

    first of all.... I think you got a 2003 instead of a 2003.5 since you have a roof rack. I may be wrong on this but correct me if I am.... My P5 MSRP is $19625 with leather, 6CD, ABS, bling-bling wheels, side-airbags.... I managed to talk it down by $5K ($2500 rebates + $500 rebates +dealer...

    On the verge of a P5 purchase, however...

    Its Royal Motor Sales down at San Francisco.... I found their ad in San Francisco Chronicle with '5 at this savings'. If you are interested, go to www.mazdausa.com and check their inventory. Find the one you like and go in and insist that you want to buy the particular one with the sale price...

    Sportcross vs. Protege5

    I don't mind getting the Lexus... drove one and loved it.... but having my monthly payment doubled and getting the same exact car as my CEO .... just doesn't sound like a good plan.... (lol2)

    What do u hate about the P5?

    I don't quite like the sunroof buttons... its quite out of place with all other interior parts.... The others.... longish throw (my 92 Pro has better shift believe it or not)... need more zoom-zoom.... more powerful stereo.... But... I still like it.... A LOT!!:D

    Who has the best P5??

    I think the best P5 are those who had protected and saved their owners in some unfortunate car wrecks.... Those are the cars that deserve to be the best..... (rockon)

    Owners or potential owners: If you have to pick ONE thing you don't like about the 3.

    I couldn't find the handle to close the hatch for the Mazda3 Sedan. I have to touch the hatch to close or open it. I don't really like that coz it tends to scratch the paint easier than having some sort of handle on it. On the other hand.... the interior is N-I-C-E..... :D
