I have mentioned the rev hang to my dealer when I first bought my SI and they said that's how it is. There's nothing they can do except wait for an update from HOA. As for the buckling when it's cold, there has been no update or reflash for that. You just have to let the idle drop atleast to 1.5k and apply the gas smoothly. It's ideal for 3 bars of temp, but that can take 2-3 minutes in the winter.

I can avoid the buckling feeling leaving for work without a full warm up, but it's impossible when going home. The reason is because there are alot of bumps in the parking lot of my job and it shifts my foot when i go over them, causing the car to buck even in third gear.
