I leased a Turbo a few weeks ago and am pretty impressed with the car. Only one complaint so far...there is some hesitation/slow shifting in the first 2 gears. This has improved a bit since I got it and I am hoping that it will get better with more miles (only 500 miles on it so far). Anyone else with this problem?

welcome to the boards!

Hopefully thats just wear in issue and soon it will dissapear.

hesitation would probably the low low boost in first and the lag of boost in second.

I noticed the same thing with my CXL6 for the first 1k-1500 miles. From what I have been told it is the drive control system actually "learning" your driving style and adapting. If you aren't peeling out regularly it is a slower shift from a stand still. Mine started to get smoother at 1500 miles, and now at 2600 I hardly notice it.

I have been driving it harder and that helps somewhat. Hopefully, it will get better after a few months.

I am surprised that this car feels a bit sluggish compared to my VW Passat 2.0 Turbo. The Regal is a nicer car but the power is a bit lacking. I'll take it to the dealer if this doesn't start to clear up shortly.

Same problem

I just turned 10,000 miles on mine at 5 months. It seems to be a combination of turbo lag and high gearing. I love the fuel economy, handling and looks. HATE the audio system!

with the audio literally just beat the hell out of the speakers. i turned all my values all the way up
turn em to just under where you can here em bounce and ride like that for a week. mine are broken in and sound ALOT better. plus im adding my sub here soon.

you have to go with the harman kardon. That system is the best I have every heard in any car. I bout the T04 which has it. I sell these ata a dealership and yes the acceleration from launch will get better. use the select shift if you need to wind it up in 1st or 2nd gear.
