I have a RHD (if it matters) and notice a slight pull to the right with medium to high acceleration. It's quite minor and I didn't realise at first, but subconsciously I think I've been adding a touch of left wheel steer to counteract with some heavy right foot. When coming off the accelerator it stops and goes back to how it was.

Is this a characteristic? (Little torque steer) Or do I need to investigate further? It's not causing any issues as it's so minor, just don't want to have an underlying problem.

I have a new US I4 (LHD)
On more sudden acceleration I notice a momentary slight pull in the steering to the left as the weight transfers.
Dealer said this is likely not an alignment issue and is just the result of having high torque.
I am not so sure.

Is this a case of "they all do that" or an alignment check being needed?
 
This is a good description of what I'm experiencing. It's just brief when you suddenly apply a lot of power, continued acceleration and it tracks straight. I'm noticing it less now, I think subconsciously I apply a small amount of opposite steering when I boot it.
 
I'll get an alignment check at 1000 miles when the initial service is done;
It's a minor issue, though I think it should not be happening.
Interested to hear if other I4 owners experience a slight steering pull to one side on acceleration bursts.
