The only annoying thing with the 2.6/3.2

Not being able to manipulate the throttle whilst your head is in the engine bay.  Having to rely on the wife to do as you ask, then end up shouting like a moron because she doesn't understand the instructions! 

2.5/3.0 was better for diagnostics!

....and the very slight lag from peddle pressing to engine responding.

I think the ECU copes very, very well with the throttle.  Mine is practically instantaneous.  I do tend to clean the TB's with every oil change though (every 3 months).

Nah, that's the delay as the torque converter spools up...

Oh now let me guess. Is this the Edwardian torque converter by any chance?

I believe you're referring to the DMF

I never understood why people would want to add an extra 100kg for slower gear changes and a car that sounds like it's slipping it's clutch
