(hand) :wtf: Don't mean to be rude but have you been livin' under a rock for the past two years??

 

[snooky]

(bang) the p5 was discontinued, the mazda 3 sport replaced our beloved p5

I know there was a poll, and the P5 won, but I would have a 3 if I had had the money at the time. I like the 3 5-door quite a bit, but as it was I got a great deal on my P5 I am very pleased with it. It's perfect for hauling boxes of shirts.

i agree but the P5 was on the same platform as the 3'rd gen sedan (a little shorter though), which has been around since 99-00. Time for a change to keep up with other car brands and demand......

and 2003.5 lol

there were two model years for the p5 (2002 and 2003), but there was 4 different release periods due to the mid-year refreshes (2002, 2002.5, 2003, 2003.5). during each of the 4 periods, new things were added to the p5.

well heres a question then...I am looking into getting a pro5....since they are being scraped...would this make it harder to fix, get parts or big depreciation in the long run...hmmmmm. And no i have not been living under a rock I just recently got hooked on the p5 and just started researching it out. I have also seen these 3's and I would have to say that they look to small. They look tight and everything but still lack that nice look that the p5 has. sorry if i am rehashing a bunch of stuff that you already know or have talked about but I am pretty new here. (strike)

 

[Roywhitep5]

its all good yo. we have a decent amount of aftermarket support

 

[dosle]

well there hasn't been a major problem with the p5 you would need to go sourcing for (i.e. tranny) so far. in just the last year i've been on the board the p5 has gone from having very few aftermarket parts to having like 6 different turb0 kits for example.

the other bonus of having a limited production vehicle is you wont see them in civic or neon numbers

 

[MTK]

so you would recomned getting one? Cause this is a car I really think has a lot of potential... (glare)

100% i would get one, and if you want future potential GET A MANUAL. i for one am going to trade in my auto for a manual in the future so i can further the HP. when i have some money that is.
