Scratched rotors
A mechanic friend dropped by my house today and checked out my new car and noticed scratches on all four rotors. I have about 60 miles on the car now and got it when it had 10 miles. The scratches aren't extremely deep, but the rotors aren't smooth either when you slide your finger across them.
He had his Honda mini-van with him and had me slide my fingers across his rotors, and I was surprised to feel how very smooth they were, and it already had thousands of miles on it.
I do sometimes hear some squeal from the front when I brake.
But anyways, my friend told me to go to Mazda and have my rotors replaced because he said they were defective.
I was wondering, are your rotors really smooth, or slightly scatched? I wonder if this is suppose to be normal.

I have the same situation with my brake rotors. My mazda dealer told me that there are absolutely no problem with these rotors.
I take my car to track days and I didn't notice any problem (yet)
But I'd like to know why they are so

Mine look like that as well. Even I have 15K miles on it.
Dont worry as far as I know its ok. Your friend obviously never had a sports car before. although 8's pads suck ***, but its still alot better than most "normal" car pads (say, your friend's mini-van, and most sedans)
