Hmm, are all drive by wire cars that unresponsive? It was terrible how long I had to wait for any response. Does it get better over time as the computer learns?

Also does anyone know when HP Tuners will be available on the Cruze?

They are different car to car IMO. My G6 is slower than the Civic on throttle response. It may be due to different experience levels from both companies or their overall set up to the car.

I still dont know what you guys are talking about when you say the the turbo throws you back or you can feel it kick in...I never felt that when I drove the eco manual. It felt like a smooth accel, nothing crazy fast. At 50-60mph I down shifted to 3rd and then it had some power.

It's all relative to the person driving. Go from a Geo Metro to a Cruze and it'll feel fast, or slow when you think about it from the other direction.
