M-DCT Owner's Poll: revisited for the growing number of DCT drivers

masmole · 08-18-2008, 10:59 AM

What shift mode do you use most often? Most often can mean 51% or greater of the miles you drive. (Choose two if you honestly think it's a 50:50 split between two modes)

Keto · 08-18-2008, 11:21 AM

S3, but I'm still in break-in.

GT3 Tim · 08-18-2008, 11:37 AM

Would have to be D3...

Most of the time, I just cruise, and D3 seems to be a good one for that. When I want to go for a spirited drive, I go for S5.

I am still breaking it in, but I can already tell that D3 will be my mode of choice "most of the time".

I am now using S3, the default, after the redelivery from ED experience. Back then I was using D3 just to familiarize myself.

icemang17 · 08-18-2008, 03:06 PM

When just cruising I use D2...but the M button is set for S5...pretty much all I ever use is D2 or S5-6

swiss_cornholio · 08-18-2008, 03:35 PM

D sucks. So it's S4 in non-M-mode and S5 in M-mode.

I thought it was S3 on North American cars, D2 elsewhere.

Default is S3 for US cars. My car defaults to that on every startup.

Always in S5. Never know when you might have to gun it
