Anybody feel engine vibration while idling?
Hi,
I have noticed that while in idle but with the transmission set to "D" I can feel the engine hesitating (slight vibration) and almost wanting to shut off. The rpm indicator hovers around 500rpm. If I set it to Park or Neutral it goes to around 750rpm and the vibration goes away.

Did not notice that but I've been driving in S most of the time. WhatI do notice is the rev-up on ignition. While I love the sound, it is a bit lound early in the morning.

Are you in Comfort or Sport? Comfort starts in 2nd. If you are in Sport, which is all I drive in as well
, I would take it to the dealer and have him fix it as it shouldn't be vibrating in the least.
