Re: Acceleration
While it's a 'stumble' (best way to describe it), the truth of the matter is, with the exception of the way it feels to the driver, it's only a momentary thing. Within a half a second (more or less) the car gets into 'normal' acceleration. Your occupants might not notice it, the other cars on the road wont notice it. If you accept that this is how the car handles quick accelerations, it wont bother you...just get used to it.
If you need to do very quick accelerations, the car will accelerate (although I'd advise against using it for drag races).
If you are at a stop sign and need to gun it to get onto a fast moving lane (...I'd say to wait a few seconds of find another route, but I tend to drive very defensively...), just gun it, the car will respond. If the 1/4 second is the margin of safety, then you are probably putting yourself and others in a lot of danger and really should wait for a better time to proceed, plan another route or wait for a better time to proceed. (IMHO)
In any event, if you gun it, the car will move.
Just get used to the stumble and it wont bother you.
