i have a question regarding the computer learning the way you drive.... how many miles do you have to go for it to learn your driving style and does it make a significant.... or should i say noticeable difference? also does it affect the acceleration in any way? Example... if you drive slow after reseting the computer does the car accelerate slower???

Basicly the computer learns if you floor it often, or if you accelerate slowly. Also the break assists works like that too, to determine if it should be more active in it's effects.

If you floor the car a lot, it will stay in gear longer before upshifting. Also it will start the car in 1st gear from a stop, rather than 2nd. If you barely press down on the accelerator you'll start in second.
