I won a 2 year lease on a Speed3 by playing XBOX lol

Congrats. That's awesome that you won a car and it sounds like it came at the perfect time which makes it even better. Seeing as how it was a free car and your clutch just went out, I wouldn't be too surprised if the people at the dealership you got it from ragged on it a bit before you picked it up. Were there many kms on it when you got it? At least it's a lease and under warranty, so you shouldn't have to worry about anything. Whatever you do make sure you don't pay for that new clutch. That should definitely be covered under warranty. I had the clutch go out on my MSP at 12k miles and they covered it.
 
Very nice annd CONGRATS. So how long do you get to keep it before you gotta hand it back, and how many miles are you allowed? Also, do you have the option to buy it after you use up your prize, and if so , for how much. ):
 
well the clutch is going to be covered under warranty... although the service advisor told me that if there was anything more than the 116 km on the car, i would have been paying for it... i'm not getting a great first impression from those guys. they've called and said they had all the parts in and the car would be ready, only to call again the next day and say they need another part and almost daily they call to tease me that it should arrive soon and might be done by "tomorrow". now it looks like it will be done by sometime early next week.. hopefully!!! it seems a little suspicious that they would have said they had all the parts and then a couple days later have to order a new slave cylinder, when their position has been that there were no manufacturer's defects and they just like to replace all the components when a clutch goes.

brianmcd - there were about 40 km on it when i picked it up, and it was only delivered to the dealership about a week before i got it.

i can't wait to get it back, its been a very long week without it, and we've had amazing weather now BOTH weekends that i haven't been able to drive it(drive2)

MS6S2K - I get it for 2 years and i have 50K km. I can buy it out at the end of the lease for just about $19K canadian. The value of the lease that MazdaCanada is paying on my behalf was $17K when it was all said and done.
 
You know actually when I first read the thread title, I thought this was a bs spam topic.

haha ya i thought about that after i posted it, oh well!

so i picked the car back up yesterday... new clutch and all, except they are saying now that some clutch cables got stretched and they're ordering in those, but i can drive it until the parts arrive. the gearbox definitely feels messed up - it slides up into 3rd almost automatically coming out of 4th and its got more resistance than usual to get into 2nd and 4th. to get into 5th i've got to pull back on the shifter to make sure i get it out of 3rd, so i hope the new cables will fix that up maybe? (uhm)

the car has some metallic rattle/scraping sound going on in the front left wheel at low speed that shows up about 75% of the time on starting and stopping. probably not a big deal and they're going to check it out when i take the car back in, but does anyone know what thats about? just curious

thanks for all the congrats, i hope i'm past the troubles with the car and can get the tint on it soon and take some more pics for you guys down in the states who can't enjoy the white MS3!
 
Man, sorry to hear about all of your problems so far. Hopefully they get it all fixed for you.
