Anybody drive in sport mode all the time? And also I have a question, I can move my shifter over to sport mode at any time during my drive right? That won't cause any problems right? Or is it best to move it to sport mode before you start moving?

i do drive it in S/D mode all time.
you can put in s/d mode at anytime ,at anyspeed with no problems.

just dont do downshift at 80mph.......... to 4th gear you now at redline 7RPM

The tranny computer SHOULD prevent selection of too high or low a gear. But being careful does not hurt.

Great...Thanks guys...I think i'm gonna start driving in D/S mode more often..I hope this doesn't have any ill effects on my tranny...But my guess is that it probably won't..

yeah, you can move it back and forth anytime. i've shifted into manual to accelerate, then once i'm at the speed i want, shift to normal, then back into sport.

Yeah? Well Diesel is $6.60 per Imperial gallon :nana2:

Yes, the cost of living in the UK is higher. We all know that.
Also consider that you live on an ISLAND. :D
