Do these have the"fly by wire" throttle control systems? If so, is there an annoying hesitation for the engine to respond to the accelerator pedal of maybe 1/2 to 1 second? The problem I've experienced is on a 2004 Toyota Highlander, and it occurs when coasting down from 50 mph to maybe 25 mph. When I push down the gas pedal, I get that extremely annoying hesitation which they attribute to the "fly by wire" throttle control. I'm a fan of both Toyota and Subaru, but this issue will be important on my next new car.
Many thanks,
