I have a 2007 RAV4 - 4 Cylinder and notice that there is considerable noticeable delay (when compared with a "non-drive by wire" car) in the acceleration from a start position. I know the RAV4 has a drive by wire technology but the delay seem to be quite pronounce compared with a Subaru Liberty. The delay in acceleration does not seem to to be fuel related as I have tried both RON 91 and 95. I previously took it to toyota dealer and feedback is it is normal for "a drive by wire" but it is quite annoying. Just want to know if others have a similar problem with the 4 cylinder model. I am thinking of taking it to another dealer to get a second opinion Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks
