RX8 @ dealership
Dropped it off @ the dealership today for squeaky seats, worn shift ****, weird A/C behavior, 1 really HARD start after 3 days of non-operation, broken center console lid, and I was told I also needed the latest PCM flash. *edit* added squeaky brakes

I was recently told that they did a PCM reflash...guessing its "N"
My shift **** was also replaced due to premature wear. Not sure if they'll do the brakes because I have 37,000 miles on them....in a year......NASTY

I got an 02 Miata 5spd. with 10k miles... must have not sold. They should give you a good car since we are driving their "flagship". Ask what they have, they were going to give me a 3i at first.

Dropped mine off this morning - they use Enterprise so I was at their mercy. They didn't have any vehicle by Mazda in the lot at all. I told them not to give me anything crappy (since my wife is an Allstate agent; and she uses Enterprise exclusively, I thought I would drop her name). They let me peruse the lot - I should have gone to another Enterprises dealer actually. I ended up with a Silverado pick-up. It was that or a Neon or Mitsubishi Lancer. Got to love living in the south.

Cool, I have it all weekend
I think I got the "N" flash too
they replaced my worn shift **** under warrenty - still not sure if they will do the brakes. They ordered a new center console lid - the one they ordered for me came broken. He said Mazda has a new warranty on the lids - 4 yr/50,000 mi.
Check engine light was on when I dropped it off. (removed cat.) the dealer said I had a CEL due to *cat. not functioning properly* - I said I know, it isn't even there......

yes, Mazda knows they are pieces of **** lids. They will replace it. The crap thing is you have to give them the car to re-install the new one when it comes in. WASTE OF TIME.
It a warrenty thing, so they won't let you install it
I'm sure I will be back for a new lid at least 3 more times in the next year. LAME

Will do.
I complained about them when the bulletin came out, but never had a chance to go to the dealer. It is about 10k miles later. We'll see if they'll honor it still...
