Is the MIL on? If not, it's probably normal. 6 cylinders idle smoother than 4 cylinders. 8 cylinders idle smoother than 6 cylinders.

Is it rough at idle in Neutral or just Drive?

Hard to tell mine is running when idling in Neutral.

What exactly do you consider a rough idle? My 2001 4cyl idles very smooth, unless I concentrate I don't really notice the engine idling. Even with the AC on it's still smooth.

My 87 Camry does not idle as smooth, party due to it having over 400,000 kilometers etc. but it's not terrible. My 71 Corolla idles pretty nicely as well, same with my 81 Pickup.

I drove a 2007 4 banger Camry and the engine was nearly silent, at idle or at speed. Like I said, what do you consider "so rough"? Honestly though, you should not even notice it.

is it cause you turn on your car and leave right away without letting it warm up a bit? or is this constantly happening every time?

Does your car still have the rough idle. My car is an 08 that I bought in 07 and has 55k miles on it. It idels rough all the time and bothers me.
