Interesting, i've only put it on M once and used the paddles just to try it, So your saying if i put the shifter in M mode and NOT touch the paddles it will shift on its own but just at a higher RPM even if i'm not jumping on it?

Yes, the stick shift in M position without touching the +/- tapshift will change gears automatically for you in a more agressive way. ( just like in D but higher revs and agressive) As soon as you touch the tapshift buttons + or - you are automaticaly in M (for manual) mode.
If you want to go back in S mode, just hold de + for a couple of seconds and you will see that it switches back to S mode and you don't need the tapshift to change gears anymore.

hahaha.. it only took me a month I thought the S was the car telling me to shift.. LOL. The owners manual sure isn't clear about that. It doesn't say anything about sport mode.

Doesn't anyone read their owner's manual anymore? It is all explained there.

also maybe im going nuts here but in S and Manual mode the steering tightens ALOT and the turning ratios of the steering wheel shortens also i think the susption tightens as well
all i know is like i posted in another thread 90% of the time i drive in Manual Tap Shift mode i can keep my RPM below 2k most of the time seems to save on gas too hope you all enjoy it OH one time it payed off was i forgot my wallet at home i live 20 30 mins from my work so i slaped it in sport and went for it turned an hour drive into a 25 min drive i love sport its so epic pedels are so more better if i just want to cruise say SCREW IT i just put it in D and go what suprizes me though is there is no 2 or 1 gears like other automatics just P R N D M its weird IMO

S mode ftw
I don't think holding the + shift on the 2010 will cause it to go back to S from M, I've always had to actually use the shifter to go from D back to M (which puts it in S by default) to reset it. I usually do all my driving in S mode, but will occasionally go to M if I'm first at a red light and want to have some fun - but honestly even then S does a better job of shifting if you just want to accelerate quickly.

Okay, I've had my car for a little over a month and 1000 miles. I did not know about this Sport mode!! I thought M mode was just to use paddle shifters.
Now I can't wait to drive and test sport mode. Thanks!! |

And to the inquiries about reading the owner's manual... yes, i have read it. In fact it's on my coffee table for easy access. However the manual doesn't mention the phrase "sport mode". After re-reading it, it does explain it, but not very directly.
Either way, I'm glad I know about it now. |
