I drive either old cars or VWs, and I never heard of "drivability" of a new car. My SIL had work done on her new Ford that required disconnecting the battery. She likes to take off fast from a start and stop quickly. Her husband likes to take off slowly and stop gradually. When she got the car back it hesitated off the line. Hubby with the light foot did a test drive and noticed no difference.

SIL was convinced that something was wrong, so she asked the mechanic. He said it takes the car a few days to learn the driving style of the driver and makes adjustments to find the right level of "Drivability". Was he BS'ing her? I never heard of this. I don't think new VWs do this. BTW, after a few days, the Ford stopped hesitating.
