My wifes new car seems to have an annoying flat spot around 1600 revs through to about 2000.
It makes driving in fourth at 30 very difficult, as you press the loud pedal to accelerate nothing happens, its just dead, press the pedal further and it start to go though not as responsive as the old cooper.
My new S will happily sit in fourth at 30.

I shall experiment going home tonight, although I reckon 1600rpm in fourth much below 30mph probably means gear change.
