I guess it's not just the mazdaspeeds having the problem with the engine dropping out. Check out these pics from a regular mazda 3.
This is pretty silly ... I'm starting to get really paranoid about even pushing my car whatsoever or driving at high speeds. I couldn't imagine what would happen if your motor dropped like that at 155 MPH. This is a MAJOR safety concern to me! http://www.doubledshizzle.com/m3s/

those pics are so damn high res I cant see em, is that a 2007 as well? maybe its a model year issue.

Yah I'm not positive on the year .. just that its 9 months old with less than 10k on the car .
Here is a better pic thats low resolution. Appears to be the same mount that is causing problems on ours.
they are so big...I bearly know what i am looking at...none the less, it looks like 06. and Sucks none-the-way....mazda supposedly has a fix...use loctite on the bad mounts...why/how? I dunno, but that is what they are doing

Copper Red = 06, at least stateside at least. Plus the rims are still the 04-06.

indeed...engine cover says not 04 or 05 too...so by deletion...must be 06 ...another job well done Dr Watson
