Yea, I wasn't the happiest I could've been while driving it. We had him come along on the test drive to point out features and things about how to drive the car. Really he didn't do much selling of the car, I would ask questions and he would answer them while giving directions on where to drive the car. He never even told me "now really give it some gas and see how it feels," I pretty much did everything myself.

Head room 08, hesitation?

-Hesitation might be from the ECU or Auto Trans system learning a driving style? I have not noticed this, some forums mention it:

Not to start a pissing match but I would suggest some research
Engines are built with such low tollerances there is not much to break in (although ther e is some break-in but not enough to make the car feel that much more "sluggish" per se). The ECU however does "learn" your drivng habits which early in the breakin period, you are "teaching" it conservative habits. ECUs are sometimes even programmed to be more conservative during the first few hundred miles. To say that "it has nothing to do with the ECU" and imply that it is solely because the engine isn't physically broken in is completely incorrect.
