Gearbox aggressive shifts too much!
Anyone else's gearbox slam into the next gear? I lose traction overtime at full throttle. I thought this was down to wet weather but it happens in dry now too. It's almost as if there's a drive logic button and it's at level 6!

I decided to purchase the Thor dct tune, and their gts software is much better. |

I rarely drive in either mode these days. I prefer "traction" mode for the less aggressive/more linear throttle and almost always manually change with the paddle shifters. It doesn't upset the car balance so much. If you are pushing hard on corner exit and the jump from second to third is too harsh, it unsettles the rear end. |

I remember this on the test drive - which is why I bought the 6MT.
Using the paddles, Sport was quick and smooth, Comfort waited a second or so before shifting the same, Sport plus was no quicker than Sport, but dispensed with any attempt at making smooth shifts. It felt like someone from marketing signed off on it, rather than anyone from engineering... |

In the M2, I found Sport+ too harsh for everyday to work driving and never used it after the first few times.
In the M2C, I now understand the initial complaints of the missing M buttons on the M2. As for losing traction in dry it's probably b/c you're tires are worn. They don't last very long |

Comfort is softest/efficient mode Sport is "performance mode" Sport+ is "test drive mode" (Make the car feel like a racecar so that people buy it) The MDM mode & DSC off mode both set the shift speed to "sport/L2" vs the hyper aggressiveness of "Sport+/L3". Probably for longevity and stability. Honestly Sport+ is pretty useless. |
