Oh man, not on my car… or maybe it would have more pickup (with a different transmission)? It’s (to me) very sporty.
Knock on wood…
I’ve noticed the opposite, to the degree that I’ll set the handbrake if I’m at a long light.
I can’t say I’ve noticed this. Maybe I just chalked it up to the difference between this car and the (manual) Accord I was previously driving. What I have noticed, is that it takes longer to engage when changing gears.
(As for the Accord, I put about 225K miles on that car, but I can’t say it was very reliable, at least not based on Honda’s reputation. Most distressing was how the ignition would simply shut off. Turned out to be a known issue (though the mechanic didn’t know nor figure it out), the main(?) relay had bad solder joints. When the relay heated up, the joints would open, the relay would lose current and the engine would shut off. On the Capital Beltway, if it felt like it. After a few seconds, or a few minutes, the relay would work again and I could restart the car until the next time. I pulled out the relay, reflowed the solder joints and never had the problem again.)
