I've been hesitant to post this as I thought it was just my imagination, but I've proved it to myself so many times now, it must be real.
I have a heavy foot and I do not drive conservatively. If you do, then you would probably never run into this.
In normal drive mode from a stop, if you aggressively get on the throttle, then partially back off a couple seconds later, many times the car keeps pulling with excessive power output compared to the throttle position. When I feel this extra power, my test has been to note how far down I have the pedal by letting completely off (usually it's very little). Then I go to that same throttle position, and the power ("butt dyno" as well as the bubble meter) is significantly less. There is definitely something wacky. I might have to log some CAN data to capture it.
It only seems to happen when you aggressively get on the throttle from a stop or very slow roll.
I have never experienced this in Eco mode.
Anyone else?
