P5 2003 and 2003.5

[ZeroGravity]

How can I tell the difference between 2003 P5 and 2003.5 P5??? Or Is there a difference???

Should be easy.

If it's a '03.5 model, there should be a standard subwoofer in the spare tire. If it has a roof rack, it should be listed as a $250 option. The sticker may list it as a "Midcycle Refresh" model also like the "02.5s were. Otherwise, the vehicle should be a '03 model.

So if I have a roof rack, don't have a subwoofer, and neither are listed on my window sticker, its a 2003.0 right? I just bought mine last week.

Right, you've got a 2003. Mine is the same. Did they leave the roofrack in a box in the back of the car? I've heard they're doing that for most 2003s because people complained about the wind noise the rack generates. I'm going to leave mine off until I need it.

The sales rep told me thats what they have been doing but mine had it on when I went to pick it up. He said the dealer will put it on, as long as you know it will increase wind noise. Mine came from a different dealership so they must have put it on for the show room or something.

True....because we never got the 2002.5

 

[ottawaP5]

i wish we had the subwoofer....but we always had the clean looking roof with no rack so you can't get everything!

Bought P5 for two months, just found the I actually has the subwoofer. I always thought that only the 6 CD changer option will bring you a subwoofer.

Anyway, switched to black people's music and then noticed the difference.

Talking about music talent.

thats one of the most racist and ignorant comments ive ever seen, on or offline... you may not have meant it or whatever, but please be careful with what you say.

 

[ZiO]

Anyone with the picture of the subwoofer in the spare tire?

 

[colormouse]

Sorry if offend anybody. No discrimination here at all.

 

[Jim Frye]

Ok, I'll bite...

Just what is "black people's music"????????????
I've heard of a lot of different music classifications, but I've never heard or seen "BPM". Did I miss a new catagory at the last Grammys? Seriously, dude, think a bit before you punch the "Submit" button.

 

[dj5tyle5]

BPM is beats per minute...Just kidding...You really shouldn't say things like that.

Thanks VPower for the bad news about the 2003.5 not coming into Canada. I was hoping when I get mine in May it would be the 2003.5 .
