Throttle response

Has anyone noticed the throddle response lags a bit or is it just me?

Aren't these cars Drive-By-Wire? That would explain the throttle lag.

Frankly, I don't feel any lag. May be the electrically controlled throttle can be adjusted by the dealership.

I have a 5spd. The most recent cars I drive are 2002 WRX, 05 Mini Copper-S (wife's) and a 05 STI (son's). They are all M/T and the response of the throddle is snappy. When you snap the gas pedal down there is a couple of split seconds before it responds. It may be a qurik of the yaris.

I have the sedan A/T and haven't noticed any lag whatsoever. I think it's a littie snappy, but I don't mash the throttle either.

I thought it was me and it might still be but on my LB 5 speed it seems that on a dead stop take off it's alittle hard to feel the first bit of throtle push somethimes. I always like to take off with as little throtle as posible to keep from wearing the clutch and on the Yaris it never seems to feel the same, I am getting use to it but I really think that it does have a tiny bit of lag.

I have an AT and there is a little lag but all my previous AT cars also had the lag. You really have to be careful merging onto interstates with cars going 75 plus mph, it takes a little time for the Yaris to get "up to speed"....

Thats crazy, as there have been lots of complaints about the Subaru STIs (all years) and Imprezas in 06. The Drive-By-Wire has huge lag. Thats if you know how to rev match and heel-toe, it makes it impossible to do smoothly.

I think automactics by nature especially ones in this class are going to have "lag." It just a matter of mechanics and gearing and its an automactic, although they changing...

No, I don't notice any lag. But you really have to push the car into high revs to get the right shift point for quick acceleration.

I have just tried it out. I do have had some response from the engine. So "nothing will happen" does not apply to my car. However, it is true that the engine needed a short while to really rev up. But note: just a very short while.

I have, in the last few days, really become aware of a heavy throttle lag. When I really hit the gas yesterday to avoid being creamed by another car there was a nervous moment when NOTHING happened and then the car finally took off. Today I tested the throttle response and found that a quick jab to the peddle will result in a fairly long lag. I don't know if this is by design or a design flaw but it's the first thing about the car that really blows. Not getting the gas when you need it is dangerous.
