Maybe I should clarify this a bit, its not that the heat gradually warms up or is slow to warm up, its that the fan doesn't kick on until the car decides the engine is warm. At that point the air coming out of the vents is plenty warm, the problem is driving and waiting for the car to turn on the fan. Does that make sense? Is that the normal operation of the heater in a Mazda3s?
Thanks,

could you check fan power supply, fan switch, etc etc? There's an online manual.

Bad idea!!VERY bad idea. I realize you are leasing your car, D, but running it up to redline (or near) before you have oil tempwill cause excessive wear on bearings, rods bearings,pistons and cylinder walls.You shouldn't even try that until everything is fully up to temp and has had a chance to expand properly.
It sounds like you don't even get your car to that point on your trip to school. If I were you, I'd be keeping the R's down around 3K and less under those circumstances.
I drive mine like that for at least the first 5-8 miles... then beat the crap out of it (if I'm in the mood.)

i just slowly accelerate, and shift the gears later.....
but normally, there's no point to it. i wear driving gloves, and warm clothes this time of year....
