S mode is quicker as the gear box holds the lower gears to serve
instant response as soon as the
accelerator pedal is depressed.This DSG «box is quick to shift and responds extremely well, however, there is a tendency for it to make the power output jerky, especially at lower speeds.
As you silently move off, the
accelerator pedal feels like it's on a time delay to the motor; the
response is not
instant, but neither does it give the inconsistent step - off of some laggy, then toruque - rich turbo - diesels.
