Vibration during idle while in reverse gear?

Has anyone noticed the car vibrating while the car is sitting idle? This only happens to me when the car is set in reverse gear. I have a '15 Fit EX CVT bought a week ago. Production month is October 2014. VIN 73xxx

Not that big of a deal, just curious. Is vibration normal for Honda/all Japanese cars?

I sometimes experience vibration when the car is idle at a stop. I feel it on the floor area by my feet, and sometimes on the steering wheel and seat. It kind of feels like the vibration you get if you were playing bass music. It only happens sometimes, but I haven't been able to pinpoint the conditions that bring it about. I do think it happens more often when the car has not been on for too long, like in drives of 20min or less.
I'm also unsure if this is normal and ok, or if this is a quality concern that will deteriorate over time (bad engine mounts??). I have mentioned it to my dealer, but since they couldn't replicate it I didn't get too far with that.

I've noticed the same thing. I would characterize it as a rumble when you shift into reverse while cold. It's not just a sound; you can feel it in the seat, floor, steering wheel, etc.
It's going to warm up here in ON this week; maybe that will change things.

Also from Ontario.. I've noticed the sametheing as kc. Especially when the engine is cold and temp is cold... some rumble, rough idle, which seems to be amplified in reverse and idle.
