I'm not exactly sure the best way to explain this but I'll do my best. Hopefully you guys can let me know if this is normal or not.
When I'm sitting in the car idling in P, the vibrations from the engine seem very inconsistent. The baseline level feels just about the same as any other car I've ever been in... you can feel it but you don't really notice it. But for about 2-3seconds every 10seconds (VERY rough estimates here) the engine seems to vibrate a little more aggressively (might be better described as "rumbling" at that point). It is noticeable because of the change.
Do you guys experience the same thing or is this unusual?
This is my first Subaru but I was under the impression that the Boxer engine was supposed to be smoother. Per Subaru: "The punch-counterpunch movements of the boxer's pistons cancel out each other for a smoother running engine"
For completeness: This is a 2015 base Hybrid model (although obviously this question pertains to the gas engine) with ~750 miles on it.
