Hi, recently bought this car and noticed that it feels really sluggish, I've always driven manual cars up until now so I don't have anything to compare with on how it should feel. I'm turning corners and joining roads and really seem to struggle to get away from approaching cars. I've tried in sports mode and though it's slightly quicker it doesn't seem nowhere near to what it should be. Overall acceleration seems weak/car feels heavy. Mileage is around 38,000.

Could this be related to the emissions scandal and "fix"? I've done a search and the car is coming up with the fix has been applied, have read that many owners are complaining about performance issues since the fix.

No warnings on the dash other than it thinking the boot door is open even though it's closed (will be taking back to dealer to get sorted).

I've only had the car for one day and going to take it back to the dealer to go get it sorted however I'm just wondering if anyone else has had similar experience? Would it be worth rejecting the car altogether? Just hope if I do keep it then I'm not going to be experiencing more (expensive) problems.

Also to add it's a 2010 plate.
