Rough idle upon cold start up. Car shakes quite a bit when put into gear after allowing the car to warm up for 1 minute. Idle then settles after a few minutes when the engine has warmed up. Not fixed. Have to leave car overnight at dealers and that's just not convenient at the moment.
I'm noticing this with my 06 euro auto. It settles down after a few minutes so I thought it might be "normal" with the colder weather now. Maybe I should take it in to the dealer for a look since it's under warranty until October
There are a few intermittent rattles around the place too. Can those be fixed under warranty?

Whilst it settles after a few minutes it still feels wrong. Not only does it feel rougher but also louder at idle. I suppose many people don't notice it because they may drive for a few minutes before they come to a stop and by then the car is warmed up and idling correctly. However, i usually have to stop at a traffic light within a minute of leaving home and this is when I notice it most.
Let me know how you go with your problem. I've told my dealer and they want me to leave my car with them overnight which i can't do just this moment. Where are you located?
Most dealers will fix rattles, especially if you had purchased the car from them. Are you going to purchase the extended warranty? Probably a good idea. Or atleast use that as a bargaining tool.

I'm in Adelaide. I'm the second owner, just bought it about 2 months ago in a private sale. It's been great, but just noticed this rough idling for a couple of minutes after starting in this cold weather. I'll probably enquire at my local dealer about it. Let us know how you go too.

Get it done soon. You won't notice it anymore when the weather begins to warm up again.

Sorry i have to ask rough start from cold.
Do you park it outside in the vast forces of nature?
And by rough, can you elaborate a bit on how it is rough?
Cause i know mine is rough on cold starts [ in garage(not as bad as outside) ]or outside) but within a few minutes once the engine is slightly warmer it is fine.

Yes the roughness is very subjective. For me the rough feeling is quite a strong vibration that is never felt at any other time other than during warm up.
To me it feels like it's a problem because my Civic will warm up with nowhere near that amount of roughness.

It's parked in a garage but I doubt it's much warmer in the garage in the morning than outside. The fact that it is rough for only a few minutes then sorts itself out made me think this is *normal*. Like Unity said it's a strong vibration. It's not horrible but it is a definite departure from the normal very smooth idle where you can hardly feel the car is even on. Reading other comments in this forum it might just be normal, I have no idea. I might speak to my service dept and see what they say.
Had the CU2 for 2 months and the following problems have occured.
1. Pinging (mild but noticeable)
2. Horn fused.
3. Cruise Control unable to "SET". It can be turned on/off but cant set speed regardless whether travelling at 60, 80 or 100.
i have the same problem!! omggg, i dont know why but it just happened like RECENTLY. i was gonna tell them to do it during my 30,000km service.
also when i reverse i hear my right rear brakes making really loud squeeking noise its like "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" and when im driving you hear it hissing or something ?
does anyone know ?
i thought i needed to change my brakes but its only 30,000kms on it and my fronts have a fair bit of meat left.
do the rear brakes wear faster then the front ?
on newer cars yes, sometimes that is the case, ive replaced my rear pads but my fronts still have 60%.
the rear pads are stupidly small, about the size of 2 50 cent peices
