[quote=Anonymous]Delayed throttle response is sometime a characteristic of turbocharged gas engines with no hybrid feature, when the turbo(s) take a moment to spool up. Once they do, acceleration can be strong, but there is a momentary lag between depressing the accelerator pedal and the car's response. Those kinds of engines require a different driving style to overcome that trait - the engine needs to be kept revving high in order to reduce the turbo lag. As with hybrids, some people find the trait annoying, others adapt their driving technique to it. This is something easily identified during a thoughtful test drive before purchase, and by other pre-purchase research about the vehicle being considered, like reading reviews in car magazines.
