Hi guys, I've just registered to this site after purchasing a new automatic Euro lux about 3 months ago. So far the car is great to drive. However, i was wondering whether someone could kindly help me with a certain issue that i've been experiencing: Whenever the car decelerates at low speeds (at about 10-35kph), the car feels slightly jerky, as if the gear box gets stuck when down-gearing between the first couple of gears. I unfortunately know very little about cars, and have taken it back to the Dealer on two occasions. They can't see any issue with it.
I've looked through the forums for similar topics, however wasn't able to find something specific to this.

Any help or direction is much appreciated - thank you in advance.

Cheers!

It is probably the electronic throttle being jerky at small and almost zero opening.

I find the same with my car. Also happens with both acceleration and deceleration. You with find a much smoother response at higher speeds

While on this topic, do other euro owners out there find that the drive is very smooth and quiet while other times it feels more shaky and noisy?
