Gear Change / Pick Up - Jerky?
Hi all,
I am not sure if this is just me, or what the problem might be. I just recently bought a NEW 2008 IS 250 (about 3 weeks ago). I feel like the change in gears (especially the lower ones), seem a bit jerky to me. The biggest notice is lets say I am in traffic, and the car ahead move up. I then push the accelerator a bit. I then remove my foot from the accelerator. So, now I am going like 10 mph (2nd gear). Well, lets say the car ahead of me gets even further ahead, so I obviously want to speed up a bit. Well, when I go to accelerate, the car seems to slightly "jerk" as it begins to accelerate. Is this normal with the IS? Thanks for your assistance.

I'm guessing its just you getting used to the throttle response. Try putting it in snow mode and see if you still experience it. If it goes away then it your foot, not the car.
