I (naively) thought that the sports transmission mode (ie the sports option in the sports/comfort/evo list) was the same as moving the gear selection stick to the left (or right for LHD cars). But the latter (ie M/S mode is far more ‘sporty’ than the sports mode option in D mode.
I’m seeing gear changes at about 2900rpm compared to 2200rpm .
The only slightly annoying thing about driving in M/S mode is that as soon as I use the paddle shift then it moves out of S mode and does not return to S mode.
Does anybody know how to get the S mode performance in D (if that makes sense) ? It’d be nice to use the manual paddle shift for a short period and then have it move back to automatic transmission after 15 seconds (like it does in D).
I think if you hold down the + paddle, it will revert back to auto shifting.
