The question of feeling the slight jerkiness in cruise control, no. That's not it at all. I was judging by foot on the pedal driving. I know from the days I owned my SAAB turbo that the cruise can be a little funky.

Besides having this misfire at "steady state" driving it exhibits the same behavior when dropping a gear or 2 and backing off.

It's not huge. My wife doesn't notice it (she chooses not to). Oh well...it is her daily driver, not mine. My 850R is perfect....for me.
