Performance

Hello :)

Can anyone tell me which has greater performance ? The "DS" mode or the "M" mode :)

Thank you

Depends on your driving skills.

M mode. I don't believe there is any skill to it as there is no clutch. Press the gas pedal, when in the orange, push into the next gear. Woohoo :)

It isn't much more then an automatic transmission, you simply get to select the gear. It isn't the SMG for instance.

So throw the bad boy in M and see if you enjoy it :thumbup:

....4,000+ lb vehicle weight & SUV & performance rarely go together....

it will do that automatically if the logic decides you're going to break the transmission ;)

just a safety precaution

Bingo...just cause it is in M doesn't mean it will go through redline.
