Hows the DBW lag
Im really looking into the X, I just love it. Now hows the DBW lag on this car, I told myself i would not buy a DBW car again. My GTi is DBW and its not bad, but my audi sucks. How is it in this car

I agree with everyone else. It's implemented so well that you wouldn't know it was DBW. I think that DWB as a technology is getting a lot better across the board. Most manufacturers are doing a great job with it nowadays. Kind of reminds me of ABS, which was horrible when it first came out, and nowadays is largely transparent.

I know a bit about poor DBW implementations, as the one in the 8th Gen Civic Si is horrible.
The Si has two problems: Lag, and RPM holding. I've not noticed a significant amount of either in my X.
There might be a tiny bit of lag in the X's implementation, but you'll never notice it. Why? It's vastly eclipsed by the turbo lag. Once the turbo is spooled the throttle is responsive and instantaneous.
I also had very serious reservations about buying another DBW car, but I have been very happy with the responsiveness of the X's throttle.

Test driving the GSR I didn't notice the DBW either...

Couple different scenarios.
1) When tapping the throttle.
2) When I'm in stop and go traffic, and I creep forward a couple feet in first, then press in the clutch while rolling prior to stopping again. It's done this since the day I took delivery. Maximum speed in this scenario is maybe 10 mph.

Somewhat inexplicably (to me, anyway), it only seems to bother about half of the owners. Those new to manuals, in particular, don't seem to mind as much. Maybe they learn to live with it while I refuse to change my driving style to match poor design, I dunno.
That's probably the case with most DBW systems. They don't bother most people, and they're cheaper, so they're becoming widely used.
Anyway, the X has been great. I've been very pleased. And it got us cruise control, because cruise control on a DBW car is practically free.
