[QUOTE="flupser, post: 75989, member: 684"] red.... p500 is not a bad car if it is well maintained by your mechanic. danny is right about the swing/cover driver issue. I have driven one for over 20 yrs. they get into tighter places than our p700 and it travels off the pavement better as well. I think it is probably better suited for rural runs as opposed to a city route. The one serious flaw mentioned in a previos thread is true. TIRES, especially brand new (factory) as well as newly recapped tires are dangerous. Be very cautious when driving a p500 with new rubber. My past experience with new tires is it takes anywhere from 500 to 1500 miles to break them in. The new tires wander all over the road (from shoulder to shoulder) until they are broke-in. I have asked every mechanic I ever worked with why p500's are like this. I have gotten many different answers, along with a lot of personal opinions, as to why this problem exists.
