I just received 4.3 update, but book with the dealer for Monday to get the patch applied. Lets see if I get something different. |

Are you saying you have had a new software with the fix already installed?
Did it fix it? |

| When you say "drive in sport", do you mean having the transmission lever to the left into the tranny sport mode? If so it doesn't help. It still goes into NID. |

No resolution.
Still rolls back and what not. Just learn to drive it with that or sell.
Post here if the dealer has come up with a solution for you. |

Agreed.
I testdrove MY24, but received MY25.
I would not buy it if what I test drove felt how the actual car drives. I feel cheated. |

I concur.
The hissing sound comes from the transmission selector area. It is minor and jenerally does not bother me too much. However, the acceleration jerk is  me off indeed. |

Correct.
Engaged autohold does indeed help the problem, but not everyone want to use it and convert their driving style. |

| After the latest software, the engine autostop now restarts the motor on release of the brake pedal. |
