NHTSA — Vehicle Speed Control: Accelerator Pedal Problems
Hello everyone,

That quote simply describes the behavior of an electronic throttle versus a cable throttle.

Thank you, Mr. Scott.
Destroying Toyota has become a political goal for some in and around government and media - which is a shame because Toyota has taken the art of engineering a long-lived automobile, a true transportation value, to a new high. They, the government agitators, will probably succeed; or discourage Toyota to limit their presence in this market. How many more billion$ can they pay out on patently-absurd claims of magic acceleration or of some sort of "racial discrimination"? Comes a time when Toyota, which has a world presence, will decide the United States is a no-growth market with a corrupt government; and they'd be better off focusing their energies in China and the Third World. |

While the TDI is drive-by-wire as well, it has diesel 'grunt' that help her get rolling (and a dual mass flywheel).

i just usually give it a quick blip of the throttle before releasing the clutch. with practice, it becomes smooth and second nature.

If you're semi-coordinated you can use your hand brake to hold your car in place when you take your foot of the brake. Be sure to keep your thumb down on the handbrake release button the entire time.
