Sigh. I ignored a lot of doom advice and scare stories when I bought these cars and I guess I'll have to ignore this too if I plan on getting any sleep. Mine seems to gravitate to 3000 rpm for all things and I assume has done it for all its 162,000 miles. It shifts between 2500-3200 rpms 90% of the time in normal driving, and cruising on the highway at typical speeds (65-75 mph) falls right around the 3000 rpm mark as well.
If that's really it's unhappiest place to be, then I'd have to file it under the "major design flaw" category.
Honestly, I've never noticed any vibration.
