Agreed. To even attempt a wild guess more info is needed. I might also ask whether it only does this while moving or if it does it while the car is stationary with engine idling?

Just trying to sort out whether or not this is an engine performance issue or whether it’s a suspension/steering issue which could be leading to some wheel hop.

Turbo 1.6 engine?  
Welcome to the little piece of hell that is the 7-speed dual clutch transmission!

I opted for the slightly slower 2.0 engine and 6-speed conventional auto.

Interesting because my wife drives a 2016 with the 1.6 and 7 speed dual clutch and it’s been trouble free.
