Hi,

Now that I realise my TFSI is not all that economical, does anyone know why in S mode on S-Tronic there's only 6 gears versus 7 in D mode when using the paddles?

Also, does anyone know if the boost and/or the power band are the same as D mode and is the only difference around higher rev shift points?

I am sure it feels quicker but it may be all in my head!

Thanks in advance

In sport the auto box won't change into 7th so you've more grunt on tap in 6th. You're meant to be driving sportily after all!

The main difference in sport appears to be throttle response - I don't think actual power is affected.
