my roomate just bought a new PR5. I drove it last night and was incredibly 
impressed. the engine is shite, and the shifter leaves a little to be 
desired, but the suspension left me suprised. I figured it would be sporty 
for a small wagon, but I was truly impressed. there was much more grip 
available than I expected, and the chassis seemed very well tuned. all this 
from a factory??? I would love to see what the MP3 drives like. any comments?
