Greetings,
I just purchased a 24 plate XCeed and while doing research on the vehicle, I stumbled into a site where many were discussing the car's subpar throttle programming.
Could you perhaps provide a concise explanation of this matter? Moreover, does it imply that you may get immobilised and unable of progressing if you were to come to a complete halt in traffic?
During my test drive of the XCeed, I saw a noticeable issue anytime I applied pressure to the accelerator pedal. When I tried to accelerate, it took a significant amount of time for the vehicle to gain speed, causing a buildup of automobiles behind me. It is rather concerning while driving on high-speed routes, particularly when large trucks are approaching from behind at a slow pace. I repeatedly downshifted, causing the engine revolutions per minute (RPM) to become too high. Upon ascending, I had a complete loss of power and the issue of very sluggish acceleration resurfaced. I informed the salesperson about the issue I was experiencing, which appeared to surprise him. He assured me that he would have the mechanic examine it, since the behaviour I described was not expected. I was provided with an additional vehicle to test, which exhibited typical performance and had good acceleration.
Does the poor throttling correspond to the issue I had with the first vehicle? Is this a phenomenon that can be anticipated universally or is it one that is variable across individuals? I will be acquiring a GT Line Turbocharged manual vehicle.
Thank you.
