[QUOTE=diesel20;13497945]According to the owners manual, if you select sport +, or disable the traction control, then it'll hang onto the gear and not change automatically and will bounce against the limiter. It also disables kickdown function of the accelerator pedal.


Correctamundo This is NO 'ordinary' Auto

I went for the Sport Auto after considering these differences
8 speed v 6 speed
Gear changes in 1/5th the time of a normal manual change time
(= less turbo fall away between gears)
Both hands can remain on the wheel whilst changing gears
or you can flick the gear lever for one handed fun
Auto blips on down change 'Love that'
