Not too sure about causes, but you definitely shouldn't be flooring it when the car's not warm yet. I think it's a bit typical of the cars by design though. Car's cold, shifter's kinda sloppy, but it all comes together in a few minutes.

I'm pretty sure the owner's manual says something along the lines of "not revving over 4,000rpms or going full throttle" until the engine comes up to temperature.

Now are you saying it's so bad that even when trying to drive it normally you can't get it moving decently? Or is it only if you try to get on it while it's still cold?
