Every time I back out of my driveway and shift into D, the power ramp-up when I depress the accelerator is very, very, slow. This has become much more noticeable the last couple months. It's possible that I have just become more aggressive in my intent to get moving now that I've had it for awhile, whereas I was slower/more deliberate when the car was new. <shrug>.

I'll have to perform some tests to see if the slow ramp-up correlates to how quickly I try to change from R to D...

 

UPDATE: If I come to an "assertive" stop before shifting from R to D, I can launch away as quickly as I can at a stop light, without that slow ramp-up. Lesson learned.
