It is frustrating. Knowing what I now now I do get on the gas a little earlier and firmer when I need to move.
This is my first drive by wire throttle and there seems to be a 2 stage response based upon throttle position. Light throttle pressure and economy is emphasized. To get fuller throttle and burn more gas as intended one must get past around the mid way point of the pedal and stay on it.
Around town with a somewhat more aggressive pedal acceleration is just fine especially over 30 mph, even w/o sport mode. I live at 5000 feet and the car does OK here. Going up in the Sierra Nevada Mts. does become more challenging and using the auto stick and not the cruise control is key.
