This is the brilliant thing about this box, the sheer number of permutations.

I tend to use comfort with D for most cruising, can't really get on with Eco Pro as the car feels dead and it might save me a couple of £ but thats not what I shelled out on the 135 for!

If I then want to press on or feel the need to access more immediate performance then I will adjust the Driver experience switch to Sport and let the box do its thing, if I feel the need for even sportier response then the gear shifter goes to the left which immediately drops a cog but I still leave it in auto. So then Sport box and sport chassis/drivetrain is enabled which has the most aggressive map and changes.

On the twisties I tend to prefer manual operation in sport, or sport plus in the dry, with gear changes primarily by the stick as it slips nicely to hand and gives a slight feel of a straight cut rally style box although a lot smoother lol

I will only really use the paddles on long open swooping bend type roads where the wheel is not turning too much and they remain fully accessible.

It really is many driving experiences in one, this car, superb really
