I always use it in heavy traffic on freeways in peak hour - it's the best 😇

With the title and what looked like the car covered with a tarp at first glance, I thought you crashed it 
. Yep, the canyons is where this car comes to life. I was actually planning on going for a canyon run today, but ended up sleeping in. The overcast weather didn't motivate me. Shame you leave it covered up all week, though. I agree with @Jimmy_c63s, thanks to DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist, this is the most relaxing car in stop&go traffic I've owned so far, especially since I have the new full-floating front rotors, which aren't as jerky and grabby at low speeds as the stock rotors were. The car only gets better with mileage, so you should drive it. At the beginning everything is a bit stiff and jerky. The powertrain and everything needs a few thousand miles to wear in. The clutches in the transmission need to wear in, and the transmission software needs to adapt to your driving. This can only happen if you actually drive it. The chassis will also loosen up and the suspension will settle making the car better over time. Mine unfortunately had some coding issues with the AMG Drive Unit from the factory, which also affected its drivability during the initial 10-15k miles and getting the software updated made a big difference. I occasionally drive my wife's Beetle for a quick errand when the AMG would barely warm up and so that it gets driven since it has mostly sat in the garage for the last year. It's not w/o fun around town, but boy does time stand still trying to merge on the freeway or pass somebody, and I immediately miss DISTRONIC the moment I hit traffic. I just couldn't do it every day, but it's a great around town and city car.

I had no clue about any of this,
1. jerky and grabby at low speeds >>> I'm so used the smooth Prius around town
2. Drivers in mustangs , Chargers ,, constantly wanting to race , or Rev >>>> I simply drive normal , so I am often confused what i did to get such reaction
3. lastly , sitting in traffic >>>> huge buzzkill
