grrrrr its a wagon

[rsj]

well i like the look of the mp5 (130hp kinda sucks but im planning on putting a turbo in the future anyway) but my mom keeps saying "you sure you want a wagon?" and its making me feel like its a 89year old driver car. personally i think it would look great with some nice rims and lowered. oh im 18 by the way

im probley going to go for a test drive today and i was wondering when you guys drive the car does it feel like your driving a wagon? or like a huge bus? i mean i think i want this car but then my moms like "their comparing this car to other wagons its a wagon" and im like shhhhh i just dont know what to do

 

[I_Vtec]

Tell your mom it's a 4 door hatchback not a wagon.

 

[orangezoom]

I think it is a great looking car I wish I bought one for my wife instead of the MPV mini van

 

[rsj]

yeah i was like mom its a hatchback yo and shes like
"biatch dont tell me what i know fool, its a wagon and it will alwase be a wagon"

and im like w3rd


but serously when you drive a mp5 does it feel like a minivan? lol

 

[tttP5]

tell u'r mom to just give u the money and get a convertable.... that should stop her asking

 

[azeli73]

when you go for that test drive, just find the most twisted road you know and have at it! You'll be pleasantly surprised

(werd)

this car feels like playing mario kart man....except there is no turtle shells and boxes and stuff. Seriously though. This car handles great, it makes up for the lack of straightline power. I would way rather show off my car on a mountain pass than just down the street really fast. It shows more skill when you can control your car instead of saying "yeah man, I can shift and go straight!!"

The car doesn't handle like a wagon. It feels very nice. And it's also nice to be able to haul 9 cinder blocks, 2 LARGE boxes of nails, 6 bundles of shingles, 2-4ft ridge vents, and still have plenty of room. Except all that kind weighed the ass end down a bit. Kinda felt like a wagon when I was driving all that s*** home

I was all excited when i passed one yesterday that was the same color as mine.. thinking about how sweet it looked.. was gonna wave and flash my lights until I saw 2 old gray hair grandmas driving it. (no offense to Grandmas around the world.. )

 

[rsj]

oh my moms not paying for it im actually gonna be the one paying for it (yeah it sucks but thats what a jobs for right?) hmmmm im going to go test drive it today so hopfully i will fall it love with it

oh does anyone know how much it would cost to tint all the windows? just wondering

 

[Mackdaddy]

Yeah, right! Not your average wagon!

 

[rsj]

i swear to god if another person in my family asks why im buying a wagon im gonna...im gonna (flame2) (hand) (dark)

 

[andyfatsax]

You are going to take ridicule as long as you drive a P5 for the wagon factor but the performance value beats out just about every sedan on the road (ie: civic, corola, etc)

 

[RAAZ227]

at most its a S-Wagon. Just a four door hatch.

 

[clownphish]

rsj - check out the picture and video section of the board to see just what people have done to their cars. There is some tight s*** on here that I never would have dreamed of.

Plus, you will be able to out slalom all the cars in this class and many others. Here's one for you, my P5 can keep up with my husband's Corvette thru the twisties, THAT's performance. It's like buttah. If you like handling go for this car and defend it to the end. I'm damn sure all your peers wouldn't have as tight a car as this, especially at your age. Also, just think of all the possiblities w/your friends. It can haul all your buddies and your gear and still look sharp for the ladies. Do it man, I hope you fall in love with it like the rest of us - you won't regret it.

Hi rsj and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to our Club. There are TWO BIG fridge'S in the corner with anything you can think of in them...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. (stash)

make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!! (stash)

the next time one of your family ask you WHY are you buying a wagon....politely tell them its not just a wagon...its a SPORT WAGON...and the sweetest import wagon on the road...not to mention the most reasonably priced considering its standard equipment, and that it handles better than cars that cost as much as five times as it does.....sure its not the quickest car on the road...but it damn sure will out handle most anything you will find with four wheels.

I don't care too much whether people call it a wagon or a hatchback. I like having the four doors and the hatch, which gives utility in addition to the great handling and style. Station wagons have long had a stigma attached to them, but that old generation of wagons is pretty much extinct. If you look at similar "wagons" out there today, plenty of them are rather awesome, sporty machines. After all, the WRX comes in wagon form, and don't forget the Audi Avant wagons. Just tell everybody that the new generation of wagons rules. (rockon)

 

[mctoone]

I always got the impression that the young guys of the world liked hatch backs....They certainly do in my neck of the woods...Hate to say it but the Honda hatchback is very cool here...and now the P5 is too!

 

[Natey]

I like calling it a station wagon.
As in: "Ha ha! You can't even out-corner a station wagon!"
(lol)

 

[doclaw64]

for insurance purposes I want them to call it a wagon, but it is classified as a hatchback by car mag's. I just call it a blast to drive.
