shaking under 2000 rpms
car shakes slightly when starting to accelerate ( up to 2000 rpm). it almost feels like less power. sometimes i feel it, sometimes i dont. there is no check engine light. it feels like it looses power all together when driving, but that could be inmy head. any suggestions?

does it shake a bit when you're at idle?
My first thought was a bad motor mount but you say you feel a loss of power?

yeah, if the car feels like it's shuddering while accelerating its' probably bad coils / plugs.
can you give us a bit more details?
what year is the car?
how long have you had the plugs, coils?
OEM cat?
original engine?'

i have under 40000 on it , 2004. the only problem is it sometimes doesnt do it. it idles fine. the most recent think i have done to the car was add the new greddy se exhaust in december. it the orig engine, orig cat, last summer i got new plugs (there was a recall).
the first time i felt it was after driving it on a really wet day, rainy and humid, but i have done that before and no problems. if it were the plugs, wouldnt a check engine light come on?

I have no loss of power, but sometimes while at a stoplight and in neutral, the seats shake like they do when you have a bad start in 1st. Like that feeling/shake you get when about to stall.... I've had the car for 6 months, I have just ignored it... figured it was regular... so far no problems.

well i took the car into mazda today. the vibrations were from my after market exhaut they said, due to the fact it fits on tighter than the stock exhaust. I also had a ""loss of power recall"". strange.

you still under warranty? If so, you could get the dealership to look at / replace the mount for free (I did)

which exhaust do you have? "fits tighter"?
