Its normal, the Drive By Wire electronic throttle, coupled with the cars "sporty" nature (the engines, both Si and R18 seem to have no problem with pep) of the engine, makes driving an automatic civic somewhat quirky. You will get used to it and smooth it out without even thinking about it.



FWIW, my R18 A/T likes to Shift from 1st to 3rd and skip second automatically, then shift back down to second...but this only happens if i dont give it enough gas. it feels almost as if the tranny gets "confused".
