a funny thing about the throttle response...

I find that the car drives perfectly in S mode so I find that now 99.999% of the time I am in S. The only time I will use D is if the engine is stone cold and I am just starting out. As soon as the red line goes from 5,500 to 6,500 I switch over to S and leave it there for the duration of the drive. Is there a reason you don't like to drive in S all the time?

I do have the individual settings set more towards the dynamic side, but what I am talking about is the gear selector. When I start off with a stone cold motor, I start off in D (and i can tell the difference in throttle response). Then once the red line switches from 5,500 to 6,500, I flick the gear shifter once to switch it from D to S and then there is a noticeable improvement in throttle response and shifting points for me. To me, D mode is like putting the car in econ mode, which defeats the purpose of having a S5 vs an A5.

I think that is mostly true (and putting the car into S also shuts off the auto stop feature) but there is still some difference because there is a big difference in throttle response between D and S for me even with the individual settings set more to the dynamic side.

I think we're agreeing...

I as the thrilled owner of 2018 A5 SB with under 1K wondering if this issue would apply to standard units as well
I pretty much drive in S mode all the time,throttle response in D is pretty lazy and there is a noticeable difference in steering weighted feel,
not familar enough with suspension changes as of yet.
Dynamic is my setting and the ridiculous engine start/stop is only thwarted automatically by S mode
S mode changes transmission shift map as well as putting all systems in dynamic? and also it changes exhaust note it seems to me?
Is there anything else that happens in S mode??
Is it more dynamic??
will try to drive in D mode until it's warm in the future though
could dead throttle response be related to the Efficiency system being active????
ive only seen the GREEN foot once but I'm a newbie!!
LOVE this car,such lots of tech,hope it all keeps working!!??

but could it be related to Predictive Efficiency an S5?
My question Is S mode more dynamic than standard dynamic?other than shift maps and exhaust tone?
