It's not that it's lacking, that's probably not the word I would use to describe it. I guess it's the way it delivers the experience.

It's too much like a go-kart for me. Probably the best way to put it.. Jittery at all times, the tiptronic transimission is quite slow to respond for my liking, whether it be when it's left in D or manual shift mode, and the amount of driveline noise really annoyed me, very intrusive.

So it's not that it's lacking performance when you give it a boot full, it's just not as nice as I thought it should have been, especially for the money they are asking.

Yes, was great.

Sorry wasn't around to meet you while you were here!

Would have been nice to see the smile on your face when you picked up the G6ET!

Also, got your email, thank you, and no problem!
