Does the new Honda Accord suffer from a judder when the engine is switched on?

Have you had any reports of new Accords having an uncomfortable judder or jolt which travels through the car each time the engine is turned on and off? Honda says it is a trait of the car.

We've not heard of this issue, in fact we've heard of very few problems with the new Accord: honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/honda/accord-2008?sectio...d

It's worth posting this in the technical matters section of the Backroom to find out if any other Accord owners have experienced this problem and to see if anyone can shed any light: honestjohn.co.uk/forum/
