It appears that Beck Arnley mounts are reasonably good alternatives to OEM parts in the event that the mounts are defective. Having them on both the front and sides has been a great help. These won't hold up as well as the real thing, but they're easy to swap out if needed. As far as my manual gearbox model is concerned, the rear mount is more difficult to reach.
Make sure to also inspect the oil level and condition. Many timing chain engines will tremble while idling if the oil level drops too low.
Keep an eye on the ATF level and condition; you brought up automatic gearbox. To give myself a head start on future maintenance, I always make sure to replace all the fluids as soon as possible whenever I purchase a used car.
