New Owner of Vivid Yellow P5

:
Protege5
Hello all. Glad to be a member. Have had my new P5 for about a week and I love it. I typically buy only Nissans, but after my experiences with the new Sentra I decided to look elsewhere. Had never driven a Protege, but WOW!. The handling far exceded what I expected. Fit and finish are excellant, and styling, well I always liked hte look of the the P5. Only thing that needs a little kick is the hp, but other than that a great buy.
 
WELCOME! its pretty rare to have a RI member here, you are the first one that I know of!! (thumb)
 
Congrats, I traded in my 02 Spec-V Sentra on my Protege 5. I love it, but miss the power. I sold Nissan for 4 years as well. I like the 99 Sentra SE like you have. If I could find one I'd buy one.
 
Welcome fellow yellow mp5 member. The more you drive the car the more you will love it. Enjoy!!

Yea the first run of Spec V's have been plagued with problems (catalytic converter dissintegrating, and underpowered IMO). I have always been a fan of the SR20 engine, hence why I have my 99 SE. My wife is driving the P5 primarily, but I take it a decent amount of the time. I actually prefer the handeling of the P5 over my car, yet the power mine has. I have my car mildly tuned, and hopefully will also do that with the P5. Thanks for the hospitality all.....oh and I own a Nissan club (www.nenoc.org) you all are welcome on there if you would like. (even though you have Mazdas..lol)
 
I drove a Sentra while my P5 was being fixing (I was rear ended). When I got back into my P5, I noticed that it was so much more solid feeling. My P5 was just a better feeling car! Sorry Nissan.
