YOU GOTTA READ this reviewo nthe P5
okay I don't know what this guy was driving or maybe smoking when he was driving but jsut read
Extremly gutless. I test drove this car and I had a hard time keeping the car at 100kmh. Very, Very weak acceleration. Brake pedal too hard. Bad gas milage for a 130hp engine. The corolla with the same horse power gets almost 10MPG!!!!! That's huge money over the long run.
he had trouble keeping it at 100 kmh?? did he have his foot on the brake?? or was he not shifting?? WTF??

All of us couldn't be possibly driving a bad car. Consumer reviews are mostly crap since they are written by people who don't know cars. As long as C and D gives it a good rating, I really can't find a fault with it.
And the 5 is great, had a guy in a black Porsche Boxter steer over at it and the stoplight.
