Nope, warranty went out about a year ago. It's all coming out of the wallet on this one.

Thanks. I do agree, it handles great and the power isn't too bad. I just wish Mazda didn't half-assed this car when it comes to prep work for the turbo. ECU that floods the cylinders 24/7, weak differential, weak motor motor mounts, small intercooler that gets heat soaked within minutes...Mazdaspeed 3 owners sure have it better than we do.
