Anyone ever get compliments on their P5?

[Canecreekfreak]

I was just over at the Miata.net forum, and they have a thread on compliments random people have given them on their new Miata's. That reminded me of a day I was driving home from work last fall. I was at a stop light with the windows down, and a lady said that she really liked the color of my car. (thumb) I was pretty shocked 'cause I didn't expect that in my little wagon.
Anyone else get any positive comments on their P5's from random people?

i haven't had any strangers come up to me and tell me anything. but its cool when people drive real slow next to me, just to check the profile out and see what kind of car it is. (thumb)

I never get random compliments on the car, but often when people are riding in it they sing its praise.

People always used to ask if my P5 was a focus.

When i went to get gas, i went in to pay and i didnt know the pump. The cashier asked, "oh the pump in front of the Matrix?"....."eah, just give me my gas..."

I get a lot. Mostly it's all guys asking is that really your car??

I had the brakes done, and the guy brought the car around the building and he hopped out and said "that must be a fun car to drive"

I also had a very tall friend ride in it once and he was amazed at how comfy the stock seats were.

I got some old fart tell me he liked my Matrix. I corrected him, but a week later, same thing. I do get a lot of looks as I drive it though. Probably wondering if I am ever going to fix my exhaust leaks...

I get a lot too. Even from a cop once and from a US Custom at the B.C. border another time.

I get a lot from random people. Kids are the funniest. Almost everytime I drive by a group of kids playing I get the, "hey! nice car!". Just the other day getting gas I had a guy trying to buy my car, HELL NO! (first)

I got it a couple time, mostly from girls who say "cute car"! I don't know why it's cute,but hey I don't complain =p

My wife took the Pro5 to work a while back and one of the mechanic, who's into muscle cars, was impressed with it. He thought it had "nice lines". (thumb)

It does have nice lines

Anyway, yeah, every time I got to Advance Auto Parts, there's this 1 guy that geeks out abt my car. It's cool I guess...just a little overbearing lol.

i get compliments all the time...people love the style, color....often when i go to someone new to maybe do some work or something i get, hey, this you son's car? i tell know way, he doesn't have as good taste as his old man!!

i stopped at the local farm/ice cream stand last summer and was backing into a spot next to another p5 and the guy and his girl were like" hey that looks like my car, but it's lower and how come i didn't get those wheels or that head unit??? i was like "i've done a few things to it since it was new" they were very complimentry and said they were going to look into some new wheels and lowering the car too!

it's a unique car and of course they are no more being made!! (first)

That son of a b****! I wondered why both my kids had red hair!!!

 

[aMaff]

Zing of the day!!

Besides the compliments I get, I also get alot of folks who have no idea what my car is. It's funny how many people think the Matrix/Focus/P5 are all the same car. I just today had a coworker ask if it's a Subaru, and called it a station wagon just a second later. (boom07) I know that technically it is a wagon, but not a big Buick with wood paneling.
It's funny how some people have no idea of what cars are what if it's not a Camry or an Accord.

yeah I get that sometime too..they ask "what brand is it?" Like the mazda emblem I have in the front and back mean nothing to them.
