re: 2.2 JTS hesitation - now with new IMPORTANT information & escalation details

I use V power too, but the hesitation is still there. Its more noticeable when you are aware of it, initially I had naturally developed a way of driving around it by working the clutch, but after reading these posts I have realized its not just a figment of my imagination. Its predominant in low revs i.e b/w 1100 and 1300 rpm. Just try driving in 4th gear between these revs (with stereo etc. off so that you can hear the engine clearly), you will hear the engine make a burbling noise as though its being choked!! once it gets past 1300 revs the sound changes instantly and the car shoots forward. As previously mentioned no other premium brand would release a car with so called "characteristics" like this. If only my 2.2 drove as well as it looks. Lets get this sorted once and for all.
If any of you own a 2.2 JTS and havent voted,,, get voting please..........
