As someone who drives manual mode 99% of the time, I believe if you're slowing down but do not stop completely, the car does not shift down to 1st gear. I noticed the car will only auto-downshift to 1st gear once it stops completely otherwise it stays in 2nd gear.

So assuming you're in comfort mode, 2nd gear, and some turbo lag due to almost being at stand still, yeah I could see how you could experience quite a delay when accelerating.

Although it's kinda weird to hear the engine rev hard but the car doesn't accelerate. Did the engine rev a lot harder once the turbo kicked in?
