I picked up my 1.6 CVT QQ on the 15th of Oct 2014, and this lag is the first thing I noticed when driving the car home from the dealer. I'm no car expert, but I think it's purely a case of turbo lag, especially when the revs are below 2000rpm. It seems to feel worse when at lower speeds you come of the accelorator and hit the brake, and the rapidily hit the accelorator, which can be typical when driving in traffic. I think the issue is partly the design of this engine, is heavily reliant on the turbo supplying a lto of the power and torque, and I may be wrong but on the 1.6 diesal CVT I don't think the turbo kicks in below 1500prm.My previous car was a Focus 2k plate 1.6, and I never experienced this, but that is not a turbo charged engine.
