Check the emblem on the front of the hood....I think they gave you a BMW
by mistake.

They might have cleared the ECU which would reset it back to defaults. Some
folks theorize that the adaptive nature of the transmission where it adapts
to one's driving habits is a contributing factor to the hesitation issue.

If this is true, driving it aggressively is likely to make it more
responsive as well.

If that's the case, then the "intelligent" tranny didn't learn very well
during the first 1,500 miles because I'm the only person that drove the
car during that period. Also, if that's the case, won't the so-called
intelligent tranny just go back to where it was before they reset it to
the defaults? Lastly, if that's the case, then they should just hard
wire the thing to keep the default settings and shut off the
"intelligent" feature.
 

If seem to me that I should just drive the way I normally drive. It
doesn't make any sense to me that I should drive in a way that's
different from how I normally drive for the tranny to learn the way I
drive.
