Turbo lag
This is my first turbocharged car so the lag is really noticeable.
Example: In comfort mode (usual for a DD) in 6th gear at 2000 rpm (watch the torque dial on the sport display) pedal to the metal, 2 to 3 seconds for torque to rise and stabilize. With a normally aspirated engine this takes about .1 second.
Of course with an automatic tranny this lag is masked by the furious downshifting that will happen. And with a little upgrade in driving skill this lag can be accommodated with a stick shift. And with a little experience you don't notice it so much.
