Red face Rough Idle

I bought my 2005 TL about a month ago with 61000 miles. When the car is idling it vibrates a decent amount through the steering wheel and in the cockpit. Is this throughout all Acuras?

When the engine is cold mine will idle rough for the first couple of minutes. If yours does it all the time you may have bad motor mounts.

Yea I was thinking about that, but the mileage is low. How would the mounts be bad by then?

I have the same problem, mine is an 05 as well but i have 38500 miles on it . Its well known around here that they go bad easily or at least shift a bit... I think that many guys do a lots of spirited driving on a fairly soft suspension which isnt really ment for. I mean it is a sport sedan but not that sporty really unless you do some suspension work to it. Its heavy as well, im sure those mounts take a beating easily... I gotta look into replacing mine as well.
