I have like 138 miles on my civic LX 06 and today when I started up my car I noticed that it vibrates, as much as you can actually feel it on the seats. It vibrates for quite a while and then it slowly gets better. Is this a problem? I heard people say let your car warm up for 5 minutes before you drive does it actually work?

Mine does that too. A lot when i'm sitting idle at a stop light even. The RPM's drop way low and it vibrates. I usually just give it a little gas while its in neutral and it stops.

I've had that happen once or twice since in the two weeks I've had my car. Usually when it is cold.

Last thursday on start up, my car starting shaking a little while idling and then stalled twice. I was just sitting in my drive way, then it did it again on my way home from school sitting in a parking spot. Gets me a little worried, I'm gonna be pissed if it happens while I'm sitting at a stop light because the car won't let you start it up again right away.

Yeah. I would be taking that back to the dealer.

4 cylinders typically have a bit more primary imbalance than their 6, 8, 10, and 12 cylinder counterparts and feel a bit more rough. (I keep telling my wife that about our PT GT...she wants the damn thing to idle like our old 6G72 Eclipse. :roll: ) But what you are describing is not right. I would definitely be down at Honda with that and on the phone with American Honda if their Service Writer is a douche and doesn't get it fixed.
