We are having the exact same problem. Our dealer has replaced all the engine mounts which has lessened the effect though not completely fixed it. We have been told this problem is starting to appear all through Europe as well.
We think Mazda are trying to keep it under wraps as it could be a huge recall or software update to the engine management.
You need to continue to hassle your dealer, as we are doing, take the car back and absolutely insist they fix it. We are having on-going hassle with Mazda new Zealand. The more of that complain and then maybe they will be compelled to do something. Good Luck!

The white 3dr looks like a Genki. But it specifically says that the 3dr will only come in neo & maxx.
Would someone confirm with me as to what the white model is?!

I have owned a manual Genki for 3 months now and its a great little car. I’m glad that the 3 door its coming in the Genki model as with the MPS2 rumoured for sale at the end of 2009 with 130kW what a awesome little rocket that will be. As for the 2 looking like a Yaris sorry guys get clean ur glasses as it doesn’t look anything like it..

The 2 deserves the World car of the Year title as it is a all round package.

If it has the same wheelbase as the 5 door, and same exterior dimensions, why would anyone want a 3 door? Im quite puzzled. The weight and cost savings are also pretty marginal imo. Slightly more room in the front i guess for the driver and front passenger, as it looks like the doors have been slightly lengthened. I think a benefit of a 3 door would be that you won’t have to cart your mates around too often because the rear seats will be offputting enough that they won’t want to sit there for long periods of time.

The front end design of the 2 isn’t one of Mazda’s better efforts. You could say that about the whole design. I actually pefer the look of the Yaris to this, amongst others in this class.

Is it just me, but is this starting to look a bit like the unfortunate Yaris? Might drive nicely, but you can’t stow suuff in it like you can in a Jazz.

Seen a few of these flying around here, nice little cars, Mazda seem to be hitting the market just right with good products. Good luck to them.
