P5 ranked #1 by CAR AND DRIVER

[bryan_giovana]

Once again my friends our car was put to the test and ranked #1 against the PT Cruiser, Ford Focus ZX5, Vibe, Aerio, and the Matrix. This is from CAR AND DRIVER'S 2003 Ultimate Comparisons. This may be old news for some of you, but I rubbed it in my dad's face since he bought a Focus.
The P5 got high points for things like comfort, fun-to-drive, styling, driver comfort, transmission, brakes ergonomics, value, etc...

Here is the address for the article online. Check it out!

WAY TO GO P5~~~
i'm going out to buy that magazine and show my uncle who brought the matrix (base) and focus zx5 and piss them off
hahahahahaaa

Yep, old news but still good news.
Also one of the few cars to score a perfect 10 on the fun to drive list.
It may not be the fastest per-say but still enjoyable and a different look.

Too bad they are discontinuing the P5..... Let's hope the 3 is as good, or better.

yeah, I think it is funny that my dealership has hundreds of copies of that same article available to prospective Mazda buyers...I read that article before I decided on my car, and boy am I glad I did!

haha, well I LOVE my P5, and red is sooo much better than blue anyway...LOL. I'm just kidding, man.

Um, let's see...just about anytime next time works for me, I think. I need to talk to Joe about meeting up; maybe Lisa too...but as for us, let's try next week sometime. If you want, give me a ring sometime soon, and we will set up the time and place. As for starting a club, I say we go for it...you know I'm at your back!

Cool, Lisa can always drive down to my place and I can take her rest of the way. Help cut down on how far she has to drive etc.

Perfworks-Hmm Saxton not familiar with it. I live in Woodbridge which is in Northern Virginia about 20minutes south of Washington DC. BUT HEY!! No offloading mother-in-laws on me...that is unless they can cook well.

 

[Stealth5]

EXTREMELY old news...they rubbed it in my face when i was car shopping

 

[MP5driva03]

Actually, if you get the chance and wanna meet up, gimmie a call (I might forget, I mean hey, this IS me we are talking about) and maybe we can work something out. Hell, I could prolly meet Monday or Wednesday if you wanted.

 

[REMillers]

Perhaps Wednesday, I am never pleasant to be around after work on a Monday.

*Looks at clock*
OHHH gawd 9 more hours till I have to go. Grrrr:'(

 

[MP5driva03]

damn you go to work early man....wednesday could work, let me speak to my dad about it, I think I was supposed to meet up with him at some point to catch a movie this week. Yeah, gimmie a call, or vice-versa, we gotta talk about this TeamPro5 club. Besides, I have to have a witness to take a gander at the new rims, man!

 

[REMillers]

LOL well actually I was going to stop my F'Burg to see if you were working since I came back up from Richmond. But my arse is tired!!!

Sure I'll give you a ring sometime this week and decide.
