Default Air Condition a/c makes the car vibrate than usual

Hi all, just got my silver 5-spd 2 days ago. When I turned the A/C on, my car vibrated and shake a bit, and it was not as smooth and steady as when the a/c was off. I used to have an old 99 accord, it shaked a bit but not that bad, and I thought a brand new car won't have this kind of vibration even the a/c was on. Anyone has this experience or this is just a normal for tC?

Thanks!

this is normal for any car. a/c comsumes more gas and you lose HP. It'll vibrate more during idle and you'll notice it a little while driving but if you're rocking all over the place, won't hurt to talk to the dealer about it.

But to simply answer your question: Yes, it is normal for vibration to occur while the a/c is on.
