Its not about being quick. Its about consistency. When I push on the throttle from a stop (or even when rolling), I should know what the vehicle is going to do. Some times mine goes, sometimes it waits 2-3 seconds (or more) and then goes. Being quick is not the issue at all. Its about predictability. I knew when getting this it wasn't a sports car, but it should be more reliable to do what I tell it to do. But this is a forum and I appreciate your feedback, I love this type of conversation! Likely what those of us who commented should have been more clear on (at least for me) is it isn't about speed. Its about the lack of predictability of the throttle when you need it to be reliable. Across the spectrum of speed, its about being able to rely on the vehicle doing what you ask when you do. No matter how fast it does it. :-)
