    Shifting in P5

    You might have the revs. high - it'll take more of a tug on the shifter if you take it to 6K! Get out of 1st as soon as you can. You could invest in a short thro. shifter - as this helps that problem.

    Wish I had gone leather!

    Anyone feel the same way? I bought the P5 about three months ago, the cloth interior isn't doing it for me! I wish I had gotten the leather interior - anyone been in this same situation? What did you do about it? Or - anyone want to swop their leather for mine and $$...?

    Scratches on wheel

    You will find that most wheels have either a clear coat - or a clear coat substitute. The brake dust and road grime eats at the alloy otherwise - chrome or not!

    1st gear jerking forward

    Same here......all of the above! I've learnt to control it by using the clutch....more free wheeling helps, but yeah - it's embarassing in traffic! I like the idea of the front mount - any ideas where I can get one, I'm sure there not too expensive. Any one?

    Scratches on wheel

    <BR>You can use some extra fine wet and dry and really take your time on sanding the rash out. Remember though, it's a drawn out job! You will have to re paint and clearcoat them......you might do better just getting them plastic coated or chromed. I wouldn't recommend the latter - it makes...

    Weather

    Well, here we are with what's left of 3ft of snow! I have had the P5 for the last 2 months and have been extremely pleased with the car and would recommend it to anyone. The other day after spending 2 hours digging out, I thought I would drive the wifes SUV 4X4 as it should have better...

    how many miles at purchase time ?!?!!?

    I agree with the general consensus! Although I bet a year from now you will re read this post and wish you still only had 140 miles on it! It isn't going to hurt having the miles on it, it'll still look, smell, and feel new! But, all that said, I would certainly be trying to get something thrown...

    Anybody have this body kit?

    The "hood spoiler" Looks like the rear spoiler to me - notice the flared ends.....are we sure the owner just had it off the rear and laid it on the hood while taking the photo's??? I can't beleive, nay! I won't believe anyone would be silly enough to install a hood spoiler / bonnet what ever...

    people are assholes and i am dumb.

    I think it's all been said (If not here, before)! But just a word to the wise - even if they want to settle out of court you should still report it to your insurance company on the spot. This way you have the backing of a large insurnace company with far more powerful resources than yourself if...

    Auto or Manual?

    I went to an auto on my previous car - mainly 'cause it was a good price.....I've hated it for the last 2 years! - Hence the new P5, so I guess in that respect I liked the auto!!! LOL! I always had a manual before and would tell anyone to go that route....If you can't drive a stick - learn! You...

    Crap! Slid into a curb.

    Try some fine wet and dry on the wheels, you will probably have to re apply some clear coat to them once you have had at them with the wet and dry though. Try a small area first with the wet and dry, if (even with extra fine) it seems to be too harsh, try adding a drop of dish washing liquid -...

    I'm confused! I have been reading all these posts about the accident etc. and all the info regarding her insurance (Or lack of it!) Some posts she says she has insurance, others : "I just hope my police reports says it's their fault or insurance adjuster admits its her insurer's fault...
