Once again so what? Speed is not the criteria, at least not for a sensible driver.

I honestly don't think I've ever had that problem Bruce, not with any car.
The only time I will slow down on a hill or when first pulling away from stationary, is if I am in the wrong gear.
If the gear is right, there should be no problem whatsoever.
So not quite sure why you had difficulty with your brand new rented cars.

Well replacement car now on order, delivery quoted five to eight weeks after funds transferred to dealers bank. Coming from an overseas bank so that'll add about a further week but I'm in no rush.
