Maybe a strange question, but I figure some of you guys have had your C7's long enough to have taken some road trips. Have any of you noticed a slight surge, sometimes feels like a small car when the air cycles off and on when your new C7 switches to 4Cyl mode?
I have an Accord V-6 daily driver that has eco setting. When switching from 6cyl to 4cyl mode if your engine sensitive (as I know ALL of us forum members are LOL) you can detect a slight transition kind of like I stated above. Drives me nuts!! I haven't seen any comments about this happening with the C-7's - So just wondering??

I have felt the same thing; for me actually quite noticeable now that I am expecting it. Seat-of-the-pants kind of thing. I have asked passengers if they feel/sense any changes, but no one else has ever confirmed the same sensation. For my C7, I would call it more of a drag feeling. Admittedly, it is hard to discern and not much of an issue at all. I love virtually everything about my C7.

in v4 you are running on somewhere around 138 hp, so yeah, i can see a compressor clicking in to be a slight hesitation, makes sense...

Thanks guys I guess I'm not as **** as some have told me LOL. I also see there is a thread below with much disscussion on the same topic - appreciate your replies; I'll defer to the thread that is ongoing -
