My '10 seems to idle high at 700 rpm....it's not loud and it doesn't vary....just wondering if that is the normal range. I have to keep a firm foot on the brake at stop lights. Thanks.
 
It depends on engine temperature and whether or not the AC clutch is engaged. When warm with the clutch disengaged, around 550-650ish
 
I have the same issue. It is idling around there for me as well even when the engine is warmed up. Does anyone know how to adjust the idle rpm?

Sure. Make sure your cool box is turned OFF and then turn OFF the A/C.

Easy, peasy.

Idle speed on modern cars is governed by the ECU, generally in the form of an explicit target rpm/curve. It seeks specific rpm numbers based on programming. It's not really mechanically adjustable via needles, stops, etc.
