I had the same complaints when I first got the car and these two things made a big difference for me:

#1 set up sport individual to be your default drive mode with these settings:
- engine: sport
- tranny: comfort
- suspension: comfort
# 2 Use the transmission sport mode early and often! I frequently slap the trans into m/s to get a better throttle response when needed and it works really well in conjunction with step #1


Just a guess, but I think comfort mode skips 1st gear and then sometimes thinks too long about shifting into first when you give it throttle. Using m/s with the settings listed above forces the car into first gear when at a stop so you get a much better response off the line. I often do this while rolling as well and it will immediately downshift most of the time. It feels great when you are preparing to overtake someone, no delay just GO.
