My 2019 subaru crosstrek has a substantial power/accentuation hesitation when starting out. Car is not responsive to increased acceleration pressure for a couple seconds. Also, when traveling at lower speeds 0-50mph and you have to adjust you speed gradually by letting up and gently pushing on the gas, the car can shutter/slight buck.
