That doesn't sound right to me, I'd be taking it back to the dealer for an adjustment.
Just a reminder for those that didn't spot this elsewhere: the D40's are a little laggy as they're building revs but once the ol' turbo spools up it kicks like a mule. If you're still riding your clutch when that happens, you'll be looking at a new clutch sooner than you may have hoped.
These don't drive like the D22 manuals - the D22 is a much more familiar feel, with smooth power delivery up the rpm range.
I don't mind. They don't have an auto-dimming rear view mirror or pollen filters. You know, the real stuff that we've never been able to live without.
