Just normal I'd think, unless it's really bad. What's your idle at?

Get a COMPLETE tune-up. If the car has 70k+ miles, I suggest replacing the timing belt as well. The motor mounts could also be worn enough to allow vibration. I recommend the Prothane inserts.

Tune-up or could be something simple as bad gas OR bad/old spark plugs and wires.

if it is vibrating bad enough for you to be concerned go get it checked out it could be tuning timing misfire in a cylinder or not firing in cylinder etc. esp with a car that new. shit some do it with the ac on.

use some fuel injector cleaner (seafoam) and clean out the throttlebody as well - your idle is probably too low. Does it get worse when you turn on electrical stuff (highbeams, blower, ac, etc)?
