I did a 15 minute test drive today during lunch. Everything operated well with the exception of a few quirks.
The brake pedal felt mushy like a well used GM vehicle. I was expecting a nice stiff german pedal.
The transmission felt like it was in braking mode or something below 20 mph but the hill decent button was not pushed. It seemed like there was excessive engine braking. I am not sure if this is normal.
On the highway if I was cruising at a steady 60 mph it would take about 5-10 seconds for the transmission to shift from 2000 rpm to 1800 rpm. I am unsure if this is the 6-7 upshift or torque converter lockup. Not sure if this is normal or not.
For Dottore and ama are these observations normal?
