Are you experiencing any issues with hesitation at take off?
I noticed a hesitation on one of the cars I drove and I wonder if this is a common issue. First I attributed the hesitation to the "hill hold" feature since it happened on a slight incline but I understand that only automatic transmission cars have the hill hold feature. I can describe it as a hesitation at throttle tip-in - it feels like the brake is on for a split of a second and then it releases and the car accelerates normally. I'd like to know in case my car arrives with the same issue - can it be fixed or do I have to live with it?
