Yes there is a very slight lag, but I wouldn't have noticed if it hadn't been mentioned on the forum.

I read the topic and then went for a drive to see. Under normal driving conditions (in any auto mode) there is no lag at all, however when you floor the accelerator pedal, there is a fraction of a delay before it takes off. I think it is also changing gear in this moment so its difficult to tell exactly what is happening. Its less noticable in ds mode.

I just took some passengers out for a run, the awesome accelaration soon makes you forget about this, I'm grinning from ear to ear.
