I picked up a MP5 yesterday as my new winter beater. I've been a BMW/Audi guy for the last 10 years, but had many different cars before that. This is my first Mazda:

2003 MP5, 5mt, leather, AC, sunroof, power everything, 158,000 km.

Don't know much about Mazdas yet but I'm here to find out.

 

Welcome aboard!

Post up some pictures of your new winter ride! I bought my '01 Tribute for the same reason 6 years ago and love it's simplicity. Still going strong for a winter beater!



On another note!
25 views previous to mine and not one member says hello? I know the site is a bit slow but really!

 

Is this what you have? 2nd Generation?
Mazda MPV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Was that directed at me? My car is an MP5 - Mazda Protege 5.

 

Ah.... he's from Australia. What does he know from MP5's? LOLOLOL!!!
And what is this Audi200tq??? WE don't DO Audi's here!!!

Hey, y'know? That's a pretty nice lookin' 5 ya' got there? It seems like the body (in particular) is in nice shape? It's underpowered enough to make a good snow/winter car though. Shouldn't get you in too much trouble.
And remember, skinny snows are the way to go (and stop.) And four are better than two.

 

I miss that car...

 

Not a modern Audi by any means. What year/model was it?

 

200 turbo quattro, of course. It was an '89.
