Southeastern fixed most of the issues on his PHEV by selling it and purchasing a diesel 😁
Sorry Southeastern, couldn't help myself 🙄
Unofficial fixes / workaround & after market fixes

The Diesel does not have any optional suspension 'upgrade' like the PHEV.
I wish @Noah4x4 would stop saying stuff like this, but it does show you how ill informed many dealers are and how gullible people are when they take their waffle at face value.
The PHEVS upgrade, to what I suspect are the Diesel dampers, is because of the rear bouncing issue that it experienced and could be dangerous and the ride was exceptionally poor.
There IS NO suspension alternative for the diesel whatsoever. It rides 50% better than the PHEV even on the PHEV's upgrade (weight related no doubt) but it will always be poor as thats the nature of the basic suspension installed.
There may be an upgrade in the future if enough people complain to their dealer, so keep complaining if you're not happy!

I do find the placebo effect also interesting, like a software update fixing an wireless charging issue, when the charging issue has been detected as a heat transfer problem, and Mazda are working on a replacement wireless charger because of this. I wish I could absorb placebo effects , would make my life a whole lot easier especially with this car
Not sure anyone has been at 'war with their dealer' , I guess people would like their £52k cars fixed, and if a car has spent more time at the dealers workshop than on their driveway so soon after purchase, and still be faulty, I can't imagine anyone passively bending over and taking it like a low rent porn star on meth and saying 'thankyou'. Its more 'you have sold me something that doesn't work, fix it or refund me'.
The same way @Noah4x4 would be if he bought a tv that kept turning off while he watched Songs of Praise, (or maybe that's his wife doing it secretly when he changes the words to 'Oh Mazda come all ye faithful, you are my lord!')
