I always warm my car up for 5 - 10 minutes every morning. It is like working out and not stretching......pointless. Not sure why you are getting shuttering but warming up is definately a good practice. Make sure oil levels are good, Shuttering occurs when oil is low. Subaru's have been known to burn oil.
