We are having the same problem on our 2013. I guess a trip to the dealership is in order.

My daily commute is 45 miles in each direction, with cruise set between 65 and 75.

I've got a stock 08.5 with 45,500 and have had no problems.

The benefit of this is if you accidentally hit the unlock button, your car won't stay unlocked in a parking lot or driveway, ready for someone to walk up and jack whatever you left in there.

Doesn't auto-lock only come into play if you unlock the car and then don't open a door within 30 seconds?

7500 is for the normally aspirated versions. Turbo is 5000.

Amen! I did have it for over 8 years (2000 A4), so it wasn't a bad car. But there were the little electrical gremlins that would rear their heads every so often.

Well, that sucks if I have to go 2 1/2 - 3 hours for any warranty work. That's one reason I wanted to get rid of my Audi that I had prior to the MS3.

I've never seen a Speed3 on the road either. Hell, the regular 3 hatchbacks are much more rare than the sedans around here. You guys are talking about going to Paretti for service...have you heard anything as to whether a regular Mazda dealership (not a Mazdaspeed dealer) can service these as...

...and like that...he's gone.

I don't go to Baton Rouge (I'm two hours west of you) often enough to know about how the cops are, but I do know that they are particularly strict on I-12, so beware. I just took off my side molding this weekend. I don't think it looks terrible, but the car looks cleaner without it. (imho)

Welcome from another Louisiana resident. I bought mine just over 3 weeks ago (in Houston, though) and already have over 4,000 miles (damn hurricane evacuations). Oh, and yes, the smell is normal, and will go away soon.

I've got a Chevy with a Mopar cam.

That's pretty slow for highway driving. (lol2)

Actually, the last thing he said was "I pulled over and I soon as I did the car died and would not start."

Welcome!

I finally got around to digging out my paperwork to see. It's Total Care, and it was $895.

I got the 5 year 100,000 for mine, but I paid less than $900 for it. I commute 100 miles per day, so it was worth it to me.

Those pictures look a lot like what we got from Rita in 2005. Luckily, we didn't get any real damage this time around, but with Ike coming towards the Gulf, I guess we're not out of the woods yet. I got my Speed3 on Friday of last week, and left the next day for Denver. Just got home last...

I'm in Lake Charles. Hopefully going to buy my MS3 tomorrow, then pack her up and get ready to leave, if I need to.
