It is the motor mounts...temperature is what makes it either harder vibration or less as the oil in the mount is affected by heat..I had mine replaced, only 2 of the four and ta-da..all is well now..to check them you have to release tention of the engine to truly see if it is the mount..

Hey DigitalEye,
Sorry about the confusion, what I was saying about the temperature is that ..the temperature sometimes dictated how rough the vibration is..In hot weather it is less likely to vibrate really hard, and yet in cold weather it tends to be more rough.

Did you get them replaced by dealer?
What was the cost?
