I like a very 'lazy' throttle response, so to say. It it easier to delicately drive and anticipate optimally, IMO.
Also, a few months ago, I experienced the absolute opposite: I did an anti slip and skid training and 'had to' drive a Mercedes A. I thought they had provided an AMG version; you were unable to gently accelerate, it would immediately go to 3,000 or 4,000 revs and accelerate brutally. It turned out to be a A180 (the Renault 1.3 engine), performance went from 0 to 100% on the first 20% of the throttle, and more throttle would not make any difference at all. Very annoying, but also unsafe!
Maybe that's why some people drive like their hair is on fire... they cannot drive their car any other way.
