Laggy Venga

I have a 1 year old Kia 1.4 Ecodynamics Venga 2. It has been subject to throttle or turbo lag almost since new. The dealer has done what he can to find the fault to no avail. I have spoken to Kia who refer me back to the dealer who tell me that Kia are not aware of any problem!

Having now looked on the Kia forum, it is quite evident that the problem is widespread in Europe and the UK. Can you throw any light on this problem?

No one has previously reported this to me, and not noticed on my road test of the car, but will add to car by car breakdown.
