M1 / M2 - Ultimate Settings?
Sometimes too many options are just that, too many!
My setup for both M1 and M2: D1/Sport Plus. All the rest is Efficient.. Manual shifting using the gear selector is set to S3 Change my mind! |

D3 keeps the car always ready to leap forward. D2 is fine but I do find it in too high a gear too early sometimes. D1 and comfort mode is not do-able for me. I'm only in that setting when the car is warming up. Once the oil temps are normal i go straight in to M1 or M2.

M1 for me is everything in sport but traction control is on.
M2 is the same but traction control off. I find myself bringing it down to D2. D3 is a little too aggressive sometimes and hold the gears too long. I used to have S3 on and floor it and forget to shift and redline. I decided to stop doing that LOL

I also discovered that D3 / S3 is the only settings that cuts off ignition during shifts over 3000 rpm and produces that satisfactory exhaust note. Such is not the case in any of the other settings... There is also a subtle exhaust note at lift off in low speeds that I find more apparent in D3 / S3 though it does come up occasionally in other settings |

Wth respect to D1, 2 3 - doesn't it just hold the gear until a higher RPM for each ? I find D2 holds the rpm to 7 before it shifts - what is D3 like compared to this?
I see you referencing S3 - how do you make it S3 ? isn't S just manual shifting ? One more thing - for engine - is the only difference with sport and sport + the loss of traction control ? Thanks in advance |
