We just bought my MP5 in March, it was a 2002 showroom car, that they had lowered the price and it was the car we wanted. We thought about waiting and getting a 2003, but I couldn't see spending more money just for that, especially since this one was yellow, which I wanted. My husband would've liked me to get blue, but it's my car, so I got yellow! And it was high time I got a new car...big change from my 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera S! Oh, and the Sentra is great...both of our cars are just that...they're exactly what we individually want in a car. Don't get me wrong, I think my car is cooler than his, but ya know! I'm a bit biased...I'll stop rambling for the moment!
