Question
Hi
When I first turn the car on, it shakes/vibrates for a little while and then stops once I start to drive a little bit, any ideas would be so helpful thank you so much super expert!!!
Warmest,
Laurie Anne

Answer
It makes it hard not knowing the mileage and the service history.I would look into the tune-up aspect as there may be many miles and it is 8 years old.Check/change your air/fuel filters and all the rubber hoses checked for cracks and hardness.No oil leaks and a clean throttle plate assuming the plugs and coils are fine.
