What is the problem with the throttle mapping?

[Micobe]

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.

After doing some research, it seems that the situation is not favourable. Is it possible for this issue to occur within 30 days of purchasing the automobile and may it cause the car to come to a halt when transitioning from stationary traffic, such as at traffic lights?

I am astonished that such an incident occurred during a test drive, but you still want to purchase the vehicle. If I were to have any uncertainties about an automobile, it would preoccupy my thoughts and detract from the pleasure of owning a new vehicle. The age-old cautionary saying 'buyer beware' remains valid; I would recommend distancing oneself and seeking alternatives. Nevertheless, it is important to note that the statement I made is subjective and may not be universally agreed upon.

I purchased a vehicle with a 73 registration plate that was just 6 months old and had only been driven for 1000 miles.
After enjoying a luxurious automobile for around three weeks, it quickly deteriorated in quality and became undesirable. Consequently, I made the decision to sell it.
Fortunately, I recovered my money.
This vehicle has a 1.5 litre gasoline direct injection engine with a power output of 158 brake horsepower.

Without a doubt, the automobile I've driven in traffic is the very worst.

My 158 gdi works well. Exhibits strong pulling power starting at around 1300 revolutions per minute.However, it may exhibit some reluctance at low engine speeds.If the automobile is not completely motionless, you must be in first gear. However, for some of my prior cars, second gear would allow for smooth acceleration from extremely low speeds. I promptly adjusted my driving technique to a little extent, and it has never posed any issues. I only had a single instance of stalling the vehicle throughout a span of 9000 miles of driving. The first vehicle you test drove was evidently a failure, therefore it is advisable to avoid it.

While driving the first automobile, I had the impression that I would not be purchasing one of them. Upon my return to the dealership, I was provided with an alternative vehicle that was satisfactory and met the standard expectations. Successfully disengaged. I firmly pressed on the accelerator and the vehicle accelerated flawlessly. Essentially, mimic the behaviour of my existing automobile. Indeed, the first vehicle proved to be a failure. Since it was among their pre-owned vehicles on the market, I was unaware that this was a common problem with XCeeds in general. The automobile I will be acquiring has undergone a modification from 158 horsepower to 138 bhp, which occurred at the end of last year or the beginning of this year, as far as I am aware. Is there any evidence to suggest that this modification in engine specifications has successfully addressed the problem?

I am experiencing the same issue with my just purchased 73 plate manual vehicle. Transforms a beautiful automobile into a source of annoyance and frustration. It is self-evident that after making 36 monthly installments, they will be able to reclaim it.

Does this problem have an impact on automated systems? I have not seen any noticeable issues, but, the vehicle has not been used much and has seldom been driven at high velocities so far.
