What do you guys like about the P5

[Equinox]

A parody on the don't like thread.

I like...

1. Round euro rear turning signals
2. Neat dot front turning signal
3. Engine growl (stock intake)
4. The torque higher than hp
5. Polished OE rims
6. Ac ducts under the front seats leading to rear
7. Hatchback! (perfect for subwoofers/speakers)
8. It's not a Focus/Matrix
9. Mercedes-like large front chrome 'M' emblem
10. "Bubble" hatch window with LED spoiler

I like:

1. hatchback, so versatile
2. the look, especially the yellow one, zoom zoom, baby
3. the price, can't beat that with everything that is included
4. good pickup speed
5. 4 disc brakes
6. wider, shorter, lower than a civic

I love how it looks.
I love how roomy it is for a compact wagon.
I love the way it handles.
I love the price.
I love the low end grunt which is perfectly suited to my driving.
I love it's history of reliability and it's Japanese build quality.

the thing I like MOST about the P-5....the things mentioned above....but MOST of all....the simple fact that I have a yellow P-5 in my garage....that I get to be the one driving it around....and its OTHERS that are looking on and wishing that THEY had one....and not ME doing the looking....

THAT is what I like most about MY P-5.

I like the looks, obviously. It's flashy but not a show-off car.
I like the easy shift action and light clutch.
I like the versatility of the hatchback.
I like that Mazda got some of the little details right, like an outside latch for the hatch door so you don't have to always pop it from inside or with the keyfob like on a Focus.
I like the direct feeling of the steering and the way the car feels so nimble.
I actually like the underpowered engine, because it encourages me to drive more slowly and enjoy the rest of the car.
Finally, I like how everyone who asks how much it cost is surprised at how cheap it was.

I like:

- Everybody stopped and look my good looking car!
- It's not a Civic
- It's really at a good price
- I beat a Hundai Tiburon last week!
- We are only two where I live to have one

I went to Qubec last week and my mom had to called to cops because she was sure that the guys wanted to steal my car! But they just stopped to look at it! I love that!!

All of you guys nailed it, so I won't repeat what's already been said. The number one thing I like is that it's the first car I've bought where I got exactly what I wanted for the money I had to spend. No compromises. Options/Accessories/Colour, Everything!

Its a pretty neat car for $

Gets allot of looks

Fun to drive

Punk kids seem to want to race me allot for some reason

The handling baby, the handling. The awesome looks, hatchback utility, reliability, price, etc....I could go on. This car rocks!!

 

[derrick1623]

i like the fact that if i can find a rear-ended mp5, i can take its headlights, and put them into my mp3. heehee interchangable parts is pretty cool! although, i did test drive a pro5 before i bought my mp3, and was going to pick up a yellow 5, when i spotted the mp3, and knew it was destined for my self!

 

[melicha8]

Everything is where it should be
Looks pretty ******' cool for a station wagon
Great feeling suspension
Loaded car for the price
Plus I can smoke a Mustang or the guy couldn't drive an automatic

 

[LambOfSilence]

oh oh, and also we could never get tired answering this question "what do you guys like about the p5"

 

[Amarek]

The handling is amazing for the price, reminded me of a go-cart when I went on the first test drive, nice build quality, great on gas and all my friends are full of envy.

 

[hihoslva]

Love the handling!

Most of all, I think I love the fact that I finally have a vehicle that I can use for work AND play. All of my tools and equipment fit in the hatch, I finally have a reliable vehicle to do all my travelling, and it always looks great.

I knew the first time I saw the commercial on TV that this would be my ride. It suits all of my needs perfectly.

And the other thing I love is that I almost bought a ****-us ZX3 - saw the P5 at the 11th hour and thankfully got the perfect car for me.
