Hi all. I just picked up my new (to me) P5 today. It's a 2003 classic red with the auto and about 80k on the clock. I'm pretty giddy about getting this. Now here's to hoping I don't get a ticket! I'm so use to driving big slow Jeeps that this will take some getting use to. I should have a pic or two up a little later.
Yet another new P5 owner

Welcome from a fellow A3E owner and sidewalk chalk FTW! haha My driveway is always written/colored on during the summer months.

lol about the tickets....you'll soon find out why we like to lovingly call them the 'slotege'.

hehe... i used to have an 03 P5 that i absolutely loved. but, yeah, not the most powerful car the world has ever seen. but compared to the jeep he was driving it's gotta feel like a rocket!

welcome! i love my p5!
Yeah compared to my Jeep, it's real fast. Though the Jeep was fast off the line, it was made for slow going. I don't think I could get a speeding ticket in a school zone driving the Jeep.
No real major plans for it. I already removed the retarded pin striping down the side. I think I will black out the wheels (or get new ones that are black and keep these for winter wheels), have a keyless/remote start system installed, new deck with AUX input and maybe just a few dress up parts. Not like it's going to be raced or anything.
The last Mazda we owned was a 96 Protege and we loved that car. Driving from upstate NY to MA 1-2 times a month and getting nearly 400 miles to the tank was great and it was a blast to drive.
I'll be hanging around reading quite a bit so I can learn something about these cars. Thanks for the warm welcome.

I have run a TJ, MJ and XJ. Current is an XJ on 33s. Only thing is I am geared to 4.88 to it is quite fine. Actually it's a little too deep for 33s but fine for 35s. It has lots of torque and always surprises people. Lifted and locked brings the suck for going down the road though!
Real nice lookin. Wish they still made them. Too bad your state makes you have a front lic.plate.
Ditto. I don't do over 75. Mainly because I am pushing such high rpm's but also when you have Detroits front and rear, they can make the Jeep do goofy things. You don't want that happening going that fast.

Congrats
All I gotta say is every sharp corner will bring joy and excitement. Your P5 may be slow, but it's corner carving ability is awsome. The feel of the steering wheel, the lateral G-Force provide a great confidence in the car. Not only that, the car has great style for a wagon. It's an awsome Mazda gem. Enjoy it.
