JJS,

Thanks for the link, but this doesn't have anything to do with downshifting.

When pulling away from a stop, up to about 45mph, if I am just accelerating gently, at 1/3 or less throttle, the car seems to lunge and surge, maybe those are better words than "hesitation". I will try a search for those words.

This is a very subtle surging, but it is there for sure.

My car, and at least 2-3 others I have driven does this quite a bit. I don't remember it on the very first test drive I took several months ago, but it could have been there.

anyone else notice this? you probably have to specifically look for it.
