Anyone else have this problem???

Im not sure if it is a proboem or not but I notice that my car likes to pull to the right really easy, especialy if I get closer to the curb on the road. just wondering if it normal because of the suspension that is on the MP3's or what?

Just about every rural road is Slopped to the sides to allow for drainage. So I would say it is normal for a car to pull to the sides.
I would find a flat parking lot and see if it still does it.

In America, most cars are designed to pull a little to the right in the event that something happens and the driver isn't holding the wheel, there won't be a head on collision, the car will just run off the road. That's been my past experience with older cars at least, and I have talked to a couple dealers in the past that mentioned something along those lines. I don't know if this is true of the newer cars though.
You might want to consider an alignment though if it is really bad. I have not noticed it in my car yet, but I am mainly driving it for performance, so it doesn't see too many straights.
Good luck, and hope this make sense.

Not to mention, alignment done at the dealership is covered under warranty. I've had mine adjusted. Mine pulled to the right way too frequently to be "normal" and service department told me afterwards that it did have a slight alignment problem.

I understand all that guys but, it seems to do it more than normal and a lot harder... I have owned brand new cars before and a mustang in fact and it didnt pull at all. even when I being the car to a stop and which ever way the raod is sloped the car pulls hard that way, but thanks for the info I was just wondering if anyone else ahd the problem or was noticing the same issue. LinuxlagerMP3 thanks for bringing that to my attention.
