(At the risk of duplicating previous threads!)
We've had our MPS 6 for just over a month now and found the time to go past the local dealer this am to arrange a minor service (10k km service done 17 months ago at ~5k km's - now on ~11k Km's!).
I also wanted to speak to them about the diff whine which comes in at ~80km/h (and disappears if you 'just' engage the handbrake - as has been noted in the forum). Took the dealer technician out and he agrees it's bad enough to be changed. However the service advisor had been doing his homework and had checked with Mazda ("it's normal") so now the Mazda rep needs to check it out. ("Normal" does not mean "right" - it's annoying!)
I'm interested to hear what other MPS 6 owners experience has been with this issue - how many have it, what has dealer / Mazda done etc.?
Slightly off topic:
Also interested to hear if anyone has solved the heavy clutch action / initial resistance of accelerator. Had the misfortune of being stuck in heavy traffic this morning - and it's a real pain having to stop/start frequently. I know Mrs IMMX5 has a problem reversing up our (steepish) drive - frequently stalls. It's be great if one could get better sensitivity out of the throttle - ie. being able to better feather the accelarator on take off.
So it'd be good to hear what success has been had with Mazda / Dealers on these issues.
