My car '04 doesn't shut off when I come to a start, but since Thanksgiving, it does drag when I start it.
 
I've taken the car back to the dealership, as it is still under warranty, several times, only to be told that the trunk is draining the battery. Does that make sense?

How does mechanical quality in the 1st 90 days equate to reliability?
Good question.

Yes, but only if one's name is Alice and one lives in Wonderland.

Yeah, makes perfect sense to me. Sounds like you have a defective trunk. Did they fix it?

i was wondering about this myself. also have an '06 3i manual. trouble getting into first and second gear on start up when engine cold and weather cold.

They are comparing reliability or mechanical quality during the first 90 days. If a car has significant problems within the first 90 days, that's pretty bad. Just think what long-term ownership will hold for us Mazda owners.
 
BTW, that is WHY I bought an extended warranty.

Extended warranties can be useful. How long do you plan to keep the car? Do you normally buy extended warranties for all your vehicles?

What's the point of having an extended warranty when they don't fix the problem? Mazda has known about the stalling problem since 2004 and the problem still exists on the 2007.

Where did you buy your extended warranty from? I'm thinking of purchasing one since I didn't want it when I was in the process of buying my car in December.

Mazda Surveys by dride

I have had a few repairs on my 2005 3 since purchase. All were done at the dealer under warranty. After each repair in about two weeks I get a survey to complete from Mazda corporate rating my experience with the dealer/service, etc... Since 2006, I have even been getting these surveys after oil changes. Are these service evaluations common? There are so many complaints about Mazda service here, I am just wondering if you folks are getting these surveys after your dealer service visits. They are very thorough and have ample space for specific comments. I did have a repair last year where they had to keep my car over a weekend because they didn't have enough staff on a Friday. I just noted my frustration with this in that survey. About a week later, I received a follow up call from someone at corporate and a follow up call from the dealer apologizing for the situation (this confirmed to me that someone actually reads these things.) I am trying to figure out if this is a mandatory national program or if dealer participation varies.
