Default Vehicle pulling to the right

I just bought 2008 Mazda 6 sedan, and it pulls to the right. When I went to the dealership they told me that alignment is good and that there is nothing wrong with the car.

They also said this is the normal characteristic of this car (because it has a front wheel drive) to pull to the right, after 7 seconds it is normal to even go entirely to the right lane???

Does anyone have similar issues?

Default

Some torque steer is normal and just kind of the nature of the beast with a FWD car. However, if this is a constant thing and not something that just happens when you have the gas pedal down then it very well could be your alignment. I would take it to a 3rd party mechanic to have the alignment checked rather than simply taking the dealerships word for it.

Default motor mount

try motor mount. I had the same problem when I bought my 6 brand new. They took a look at it three times. Finally they discovered that the engine mount was not on correctly. So it caused it to veer. Once they fixed the engine mount, it went away. Torque steer is normal for front wheel drive cars. Especially at acceleration. The 6 has a decent amount of torque too, so it may seem worse than other cars.
