It is the nature of the beast. Mine is the same way. The car isn't set up for being able to pull hard out of turns, it is designed for fuel economy. Torque management doesn't really allow it either. If you want it to pull out of a turn faster put it into manual and hold a gear through the turn, it makes a huge difference. It is kinda annoying, but it was designed as a casual driver car.
