Would you do it again?

[the orracle]

To pro and pro5 owners that have owned your car for at least a year, would you do it again today if you could? Or would another car be more tempting? They have advertised the P5 for $12,900 in Atlanta

 

[FrigginGLI]

I would most likely bought the mazda speed cause the price came down so much.

id do it again and plus your avitar helps make it worth while

 

[stdntDrvr]

i'm with red devil!

i may have gotten the MSP if i could have gotten one in spicy orange or blue if i could have waited for the price they're selling for now.

I still haven't got a year on my P5 but I would do it again if I have the chance. Probably go with the Speed. I started out with Protege LX 02, then the P5 03.

 

[Replica]

no

 

[stdntDrvr]

sell it.
you do nothing but make negative remarks about the p5...if you don't like it, get rid of it and quit bitching about it.

Actually I probably wouldn't have gotten a Pro in the first place. I hate the electrical system! I never had more problems with headlight dimming even with the stereo off and no heat on, the lights will get brighter if I rev the engine from idle. With the stereo on, the lights dim to the beat (even with all of the upgrades). I hear it's the ECU.

Alternator is my guess. My car does that...

I definitely would have done it differently, I would have convinced my mom to get me stick by force (evil) or I would have got the msp instead. Probably the MSP instead.

 

[Coqui258]

I would do it again... and I would stick to the P5 cuz I love the unique look and it's just a great car all-around! MSP? Maybe, but nah... too many problems... lol

 

[MP5 Tuner]

I would've done it differently. I would've gotten a black manual 03 MP5.

 

[Coqui258]

Like mine!!! lol

When I needed a car the MSP wasn't even out and wouldn't be for a good year or a little less. I was tired of sedans and wanted a hatch anyway, I wanted the space.

So yes, under the circumstances then I would've gotten the P5 again. I did my research back then and knew what I wanted, no buyers remorse here.

 

[JonKlsn]

LOVE MY CAR!! I'd do it again, or by a 6s

 

[acidbug]

I would not do it again...The car is just to damn slow stock...

It's been a great car. But the depreciation just kills me. Would I do it again? Well if I could have forseen the future when I bought the car, then the answer would be no.

I traded in my Audi A4 for the Protege 5 because my wife and I didn't need two luxury cars (we also have a BMW 325i), and because we were saving up to buy a house; so I needed something a little more economical, but somewhat fun.

When we finally applied for a home loan, we got such a great interest rate for our mortgage that I could have kept the A4 or bought something nicer. Now I'm about 4K in negative equity with the Protege 5 that trading in the car would just be stupid, hence I'm trying to sell it privately to re-coupe some of the negative equity.
