 I noticed the same thing - for whatever reason, on the rare occasion when the car was new and would downshift from 2nd to 1st (and I'm talking " D" or "M" mode guys - it doesn't matter, since the car automatically downshifts when it needs to, even in M mode) it would really jerk. I've got a little over 10K miles on it now, you still notice it but not that much.
BTW, the jerk is normal. Try downshifting (at low speed, of course) a manual from 2nd to 1st and see what happens - unless you're barely moving you'll feel a jerk and hear the engine rev.
