The engine mounts in the VCM equipped car are specifically designed to be ACTIVE. If they are not functioning properly I can assure you you will not only have vibrations at idle, but , but also sense the VCM operation and the 3 cylinder vibrations as well. I know - I did, as have many others in the VCM forum.
I would say this - they may need awhile to break in - my problems disappeared after about 3000 miles and my car's operation became "nearly seamless", whereas before it had been the "maddening behavior" cited by the WSJ reviewer. That said -
 
AT? If so welcome to a place where no man has gone before - VCM land with
6-4-3 modes of operation, and all its vagaries. You will be told it is operating within normal limits. Probably the Active Engine Mounts - part of the VCM system. They may not be operating properly and insulating engine vibration from the car adequately - good luck with that one, right golfrski!?

I have an 08 Accord Coupe since 10/07 and I have all kinds of Thumps & Raddles. If you have sunglasses in the overhead take them out - Check your break light in the back window - they were installed incorrectly and are loose. If you have anything in the trunk that can move you will hear it no matter what you do - there is no insulation in the trunk.....besides that I've I had a bunch of mechanical issues also but I will have to start a new thread for that
