Acceleration issue....

Yea, I've noticed that flaw, too. Especially the one Scottsh mentions.
As for your traffic light issue, be aware the problem you describe is indicative of an incurable disease.
You can put the car in E or W mode, but remember, neither E nor W are a absolute cure. Consider them more like a just a breathing mask/filter. When the minivan drivers see the filter, they will inherently understand you are taking steps to ensure you do not infect the general population, so they will feel better.
You can also set the exhaust to stealth mode, so you don't disturb the Bach Concerto being listened to in the nearby Prius....
As a bonus, stealth mode is guaranteed to not offend the 2 liter muffler drivers.

Acceleration issue....
That's the best explanation I've seen so far. Those remedies would beat out starting in third gear However, I may be beyond cure at this point. I called my doctor and he can't help my ego or my coordination either. He offered some home remedies but they sounded about as appealing as driving with 4 cyl. and a stealth exhaust. After a lot of thought I've decided to remove all mirrors and to never look back. Problem solved.

I've noticed that when I pull up to a stop light on a four lane road I almost always experience an acceleration issue. I am not trying to race off the line but by the time I shift to second without having used 1/4 of my throttle I'm generally 3 to 4 car lengths in front of the other drivers. This car seems to be deceptively quick because I don't feel like I'm going fast at all. I'm not complaining it just makes me laugh. I'm really not trying to race the minivan but I'm sure they think I'm showing off!
