I know mine shakes if the music is turned up. I always drive with all of my windows down and the sunroof open, but at the same time the music is on..... So I couldn't tell you....

I'll actually disagree with you on that. My last car hit 152db so I know what loud bass sounds like. I'm not saying this car is anything like that, but it is a good blend of bass and does give you enough to feel the music.

The vibration in the rearview mirror could come from the asphalt conditions in your area. For instance California has some of the roughest asphalt around the Lake Tahoe area but when I drive to Nevada roads are silky smooth.

Hehe, maybe. But not here, it ain't the road. It's the rearview mirror...definitely. It does get annoying when you have to look in the side mirror to get a clear make on a vehicle behind you.

I also get the shake when playing music with a strong bass note. I don't notice any undue shaking otherwise just from having windows/moonroof open, etc. The shaking from bass sound is actually an indicator of quality bass reproduction. Good bass is palpable--i.e., the frequencies have waveforms that are able to vibrate physical object. For example, I have one audiophile LP featuring bass violin solos that literally sends physical shivers through my body when played on my home system (and probably my neighbors too!).

A shaky mirror is a small price to pay for good sound.
