Peppy for sure...I only find first gear a bummer, once I hit second especially going up hills, move-the-hell-over LOL..manual, good upkeep, good tires, and the drivers personal skill makes a huge difference IMO. I know what you mean tho, and I can see how that comparison came up, sure as hell feels like more than 130hp I'll say about 55%of the time anyways, depending on the situation . As far as mini vans go, I find in 4th, going up hills, and with highway driving they have nothing on me, but to each his own.
I like what was mentioned somewhere through here about her looks keeping Honda's etc off our backs...(first) Couldn't agree more..I find when I pull up beside people they can't help but stare, and then the light turns green I just grin, look innicent then...ZOOM ZOOM (rlaugh)

look i test drove a scion xb when car shopping and it is sloowwwww. Im talking I can barely get up to highway speeds without having to rev all the way to the redline. It is slower than the p5 for sure. Because the next car I got into after the xb to test drive was the p5 and it felt soo much faster. Im glad i walked away from the xb
Car and Driver article. P5 FTW!....and I quote, "The Verdict: A sports car in station-wagon clothes."
"This Mazda, like the Proteg four-door on which it's based, is really fun in the twisties. Ride is taut, body roll is tightly controlled, the 50-series Dunlops respond crisply, and they bite (0.79 g). You can set up a happy understeer with light braking on the way into turns, or push in hard under power, then lift a bit when you need to tighten the line. The knee bone is connected to the thigh bone, with no wobbles and no excuses. Precise. Predictable. Press on!"
