no acceleration on demand?

[pemarsh]

When trying to accelerate many times, I have noticed that there is very little acceleration. Another description would be a very very long delay/pause maybe.

Is the the "throttle delay" people are chatting about?

If so, is there a fix??

I am currently test driving a 2005 se.

I drive with a very heavy foot. When I get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for a few miles, my truck then feels like its 'starting off in 2nd.'
Once I get out of traffic, I go back to my 'drive it like its stolen' style.
Throttle response is then instant and very abrupt.
This is my experience.

You got a demo? Thats like a nice rent-a-car... have fun!

its actually annoying enough for me to prevent me from purchasing this. Its quite frustrating....especially here in chicago where there is always traffic

1> Did you drive in sport mode? 2> You do realize the LR3 is the heaviest SUV in it's class, right? 3> The transmission "learns" your driving behavior as time goes on.

I personally have no problems with it, but it's nothing like the sports cars I've driven all my life... and I'm not going to pretend.

You'll get over it. Trust me.

Use it to you advantage... tell your dealer about this and demand $5k off...And make sure its a loaded HSE7HD with everything.... There is not an option that 'I don't need.'
