I don't know anything about the financing stuff, but my dad is thinking of getting the Mp5 for my mom, great car, looks good! and well worth it in my mind! if you don't like, check out the Nissan Sentra SER spec V, many CEG'rs here are buying them. If he goes and checks it out tomorrow, I will ask what kind of financing he can get... and tell ya.. though Mazda with its popularity has a high interest rate.. maybe not.. could be wrong.. in any case good luck, and good luck with school! i'm graduating this year!

though I might go back for another year.. :p ohh well all good in my mind
