2014 Mazda 3 i Touring 2.0 l
Hi, I just bought a Mazda 3, 2.0 Touring, and I'm not having any problems, just a question. When I look at the engine while running it it is shaking. I don't feel any of this while driving, it's only obvious when looking at the engine. I'm assuming this is normal since the car appears to run fine, but just want to confirm it. My last car was a 2001 Maxima, and that engine (3.0L V6) didn't shake at all.
Not a big deal, and maybe a dumb question, but thanks in advance for any feedback.
 
Does the car vibrate when the engine is idling? If not, you're likely fine. I never looked at the engine while it was running (yet), but my car is only 3.5 months old.
 
I wonder if you ever had an I4 engine before to compare.

If not, I4 is likely to shake more than a V6/I6.
It could be normal if not too severe.
