It would go away if I downshifted but that's not going to work long term.

Sales guy said others have commented too. The car has been on the lot now about eight months cwith no takers.
Was it the 6MT or DCT? I don't have any drone with my 6MT. If you really like the car otherwise, it might be worth finding another one to drive and compare. Could be something with the PE install on that one, you never know. Worth increasing your sample size before you dismiss. Good luck.
