What do u hate about the P5?

The windshield has no tinted strip across the top. I've never had a car that did not have this. I thought maybe the previous owner replaced it with a cheap one. Does everyone else have it?

Oh yeah...forgot that gripe. I hate using a sun visor, but I have to use both of them on my morning commute into the eastern sun.


Here's to flying rocks and replaced windshields (w/tint).

i couldn't even use any of them (sun visor), i think they are too small. also there is no sun visor in the middle behind the rear mirror.

Yeah, I'm 5'7" and they barely reach my line of vision. Encourages good posture though. ;)

i am only 5'3 so that is impossible to hide my eye behind the sun visor :confused:

my board bearly fits in with the rear seat folded ..damn this car is short i didnt have the prob in a civic


i can understand that, because i just went to snowboarding on last weekend, and all snowboard is barely fit with the rear folded, or need to move the front passenger sit a little bit forward to fit my board in, and i think i got the 157cm board only.

I'm just saying they are narrow (short, thin, whatever). My CR-V had more headroom, but the visors were more substantial and I had no problems blocking the sun.

That's why we need that fold-flat front seat.
 
We had an ice/snow storm here yesterday. The factor wipers suck, froze up real fast and the pasanger wiper doesn't curve right to the window. I went and purchased some winter blades while at work this morning. Brand new car and already having to buy wipers, sucks. On a high note the car handled well this morning in the aftermath of snow ontop of ice coverd roads.
 
For what I paid, the P5 is a great car. There's only a few things I'd change.

1. It needs a taller OD gear, be it 5th or an added 6th.


These changes would kill it's pricing

2. 100 more horsepower.
3. Rear wheel drive.



That is all :o
 
I wouldn't say I hate this but it would be nice if there was some kind of indicator to let you know if the fog lights are on or not. Small light on the switch or something in the cluster.

Yeah, that is weird that you don't know if they are on or not. I have to drive by a window and see the reflection!
 
nothing i really hate about the p5. sometimes i wish for more power, but it's adequate. and you can always increase power so it's not much of a problem.
as for the fog lights, i can tell if they're on or not by just feeling up the button. you can definitely tell if it's pushed in or not
 
It wouldn't be difficult to put an led in the fog light switch that would come on when the fog lights are on.

Better, but more difficult, would be to place in idicator in the cluster somewhere.
