Town North did a great job...

Vibration at idle in the cabin. I took it in they blamed it on the GReddy exhaust (one of the mounts was a little bent) I took it home straightened the mount and the virbration was still there (shocker) So I went back... They called Mazda, Mazda roccomended motor mounts. That was it...all better now. They were easy to deal with and did what they said they would. The only bad thing is they require an appointment to get in initially so the first day I went there it was going to be three days before they started on it. The second trip they saw me coming and made no mention of an appointment.

not a public one, pre2005 models apparently have issues with exhaust heat getting to the mount on that side:

That's exactly what mine was doing. They called the tech line to get the part number for the improved mounts. The two they took off were not visibly bad i.e. leaking goo. They just apparantly got too solid from the heat.
