I never said anything didn't have turbo lag, they all do. It's not relevant. I'm talking about how they drive in normal city driving not in boost. None of them had the poor throttle response and sluggishness of this R. And Like I said earlier, maybe there is a problem. It could be plugged up with carbon, who knows. If it's normal, it's disappointingly sluggish, that's all.
I'm not a fan of S for normal driving due to how high revs the thing.
And, I'll repeat it again, because you keep mentioning high load at low rpm, so we are still not on the same page. I'm talking low load, low RPM, driving like a normal sane person. It has very poor throttle response and getting it to move at all. It feels like it's all plugged up to me. No clue if it's normal for these cars, and that's what I'm trying to find out.
Got ya, not trying to start an argument. Just feel like you can't compare apples to oranges. Manual/DSG or Auto/DSG. They all behave different from different gearing and what not.
Maybe I'm totally oblivious to it now and just used to it.
Does it seem to idle smoothly right after you start it up cold? If you can hear roughness/pops in the exhaust tone it's usually a sign of carbon buildup.
I do agree 100% that throttle response driving like a normal sane person is extremely laggy and just not there.
