Nope, not here, I get better economy on the motorway journeys with sport mode, around town in traffic, I just leave it in D.

Put mine in sport mode once since I've had it, and that was just to see the difference with the acceleration BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

I've got the manual at the moment, but when I had the auto I didn't use it much just if I wanted a quick getaway from junctions or lights. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200 |

On the FL1 I often used the sport mode but never found the need on the FL2

Only on a steep hill near where I live, ironically only in order to change up sooner than it otherwise would. 2013 RR Evoque Pure Tech

sometimes on hills, at lowish speeds, sometimes the auto box can't make its mind up as to the right gear for the situation, sport mode helps. ...

I find it Sport mode is a little more lively, but not really experimented that much.

you can get into top gear on the motorway at less revs if you nudge it up through the auto command , it will do it itself eventually, manually is just a little way of showing the car who pays for the fuel At work

My gearbox has started feeling wobbly when in a high gear under load and almost changing down but not quite. Sport mode now makes it drive better by changing down earlier. |
