It makes you feel like a learner driver slipping the clutch in between gear changes. Have I got a dodgy software upgrade? Does the very latest version do this aswel?

thanks Stuart

Mine does as well. I hate it.Even on a well warmed motor.
What's even more retarded is when it's very cold it only revs to about 1100.

I've been told this is "normal"
I hear "normal" a LOT at my dealership.
Every defect I've ever had was "normal" until I threw a fit.
