I need some help with my new Mazda 3. I just picked it up last wednesday and it now has 400km on it.
I find that sometimes when I start the car it seems to struggle to start up. It always starts but only after quite a while. I've made an appointment with the dealership for next tuesday but just want to know:

1. Anyone know why this would happen with a brand new car.

2. Should I be charged anything by the dealership for taking it in?

Thanks in advance for your help with this.

What is quite a while? 10 sec 20 sec 30 sec 1 min?

I'm sure the dealer will find the problem. Get them to inspect the fuel and air filters.

By quite a while I mean about 7 seconds. Doesn't sound like a long time but all the cars I've had started up right away. The problem seems to come and go though. Sometimes it starts up right away.

It could be a fuel pump problem. Bring your 3 to the dealer and they should fix the problem. You may also check out some Mazda3 forums.
