Dumbass discovers Sport mode 2 months into ownership
Yes.. title says it all.. I officially say "DUH". I just discovered the "S" mode 2 days ago after having the car for 2 months already. Boy, what a performance difference from regular "D" in auto. I always used the paddle shifters for quick upshift from D, but this is great.
Incase you are wondering, I always thought the "D/S" gearshift was to move it into manual sport to the right, not down further still in auto.

Did you guys know thatour cars have 2 manual modes(those with paddles on the wheel).
Aside shifting from the paddles or the gear lever, you can always choose to downshift or upshift(paddles) while in Drive and the car will switch to a "limited" and temporary manual mode in which the car will shift for you if you delay it and it will switch back to Drive after 30 seconds of not touching the paddles.
ALso, from D/S, you can push the lever to the right and the car will switch to full manual mode. It will stay in this mode until you act upon it and it will only switch for you if you over or under rev the engine.
