Buy; there is a fix for the 'jerkiness'. Read on..........
Detailed review:
To all of you complaining of the jerky transmission; it's normal at first. I too questioned the acceleration (the car I drove had two inches of gas pedal travel until it drove) until I realized it's drive by wire. Similar to a jet fighters controls, there is no mechanical connection for the gas, but an electronic one. It takes about 90 minutes of ONE person driving it(city and highway) for the computer to set your preferences. As soon as that's done, it'll go away. So just load in some fav CD's and drive around for a while til it's done. How hard is that?
