I've had my MSP for about 3 weeks and I am already experiencing problems. I've had a pretty bad steering wheels shake and that was fixed due to wheel balancing. I am experiencing engine hesitation and my dealership is looking in to a reflash. Also, my rear bumper attachment is coming loose near the exhaust. And just this afternoon I began to experience a loud whistle noise similar to a siren at around 4 - 5k rpms. I understand that a turbo will be louder, but this is the first time I've heard it in 3 weeks. I've had 3 Mazdas now(MP3, P5, MSP) and never any problems till now. What gives? What exactly is this high pitched whistle? I thought it was a cop behind me!

What's a feature?
based on my limited experience with this car:
no whistle - just one pissed off turkey
wheel hop is there but not as bad as my 91 Protege
flash rules (power delivery is smoother)
no shaking at ANY speed - although a fellow MSP owner here in Austin has reported it
no parts falling off

my old volvo turbo did the same thing. it just started one day. turns out there was a pipe of some sorts loose (i was 16 and didn't really care and still don't know what part it was. i want to say it was part of the air cleaner, but i'm still not sure. feel free to flame me for not knowing), but my dad's friend just tightened it up and the whistling went away. what i'm getting at is that maybe something came loose...

The wheel hop can be fixed by ordering a rear motor mount from AWR Racing
Leave your front mount stock to handle any vibration from the stiffer rear mount. If you order both front and rear mounts, the front one can be changed easily for a race day.
Just my $.02
