I just picked up a brand new Si6 and am experiencing the lag, particularly going from 2nd to 1st. I have no issues starting from a dead stop - the issue comes on when I am already rolling (for example, making a right turn at a stop sign that I don't really stop at) - there is a very dangerous lag where the car does nothing. I am going to try and use the accelerator more aggressively and hopefully it will learn something...

I came from a F250 diesel we got for towing a 34 ft travel trailer. I said I would never go gas again no matter what. I test drove the TD6 and then the SI6, extensively. As far as fun driving goes the SI6 won out. I was dead set on the diesel for mileage and the torque but when I drove the gasser it was impossible for me to go with diesel. There is a little more maintenance with a diesel but that should not sway anyone buying a $70k plus vehicle. Decide what you want from it Day in and day out. I am getting better mileage out of the gasser than any truck I have ever had. Had F150 eco boost before the F250 powertstroke. I am happy and I love the way this thing grips the road and lurches forward with authority when I want it to. The TD6, as much as I really wanted it and loved it, lacked in that area compared to the gasser. Just IMO.

on a new engine you always want to drive it rough. I know it’s counter intuitive but it helps the engine settle and the pistons expand to the proper size so fuel doesn’t work it’s way into the oil diluting it.
