Default New subaru idle question

I have a 2005 RS bought brand new 3 weeks ago and made 3500 km with it. I
never owend a Subaru before and I'm not sure if the rough idle on my car is
normal for this type of cars or something needs to be adjusted. When the car
is not moving and the RPM is less than 1000, I feel this vibrations inside the car, similar to the the ones when the engine is cold but not as pronounced.
Sometimes is very mild , other times is really annoying.
The dealer doesn't think there is a problem and said I'm probably not used with this type of engine.......
Please tell me your oppinions.

my car idles at about 600 or so. Seems odd that you can feel it vibrate. These motors are very smooth. I wonder if you have a bad motor mount.

no on the 2005 RS's its normal my car vibrates like crazy. Don't worry bout completely normal its the lovely idle of the boxer motor. My car idles at around 500 and does often do random vibrations that i can feel when i sit in my car. Sometimes my idle will even fall down to 300rpms after i hit the gas but thats normal also for a car that has had the ecu reset before.
