I can't take the strong rev matching weird downshifting it does. Can only smack your face on The steering wheel so many times, lol
Yeah, sometimes its cool that it makes the exhaust sound nice. But most of the time it's just annoying, especially the 3-2 downshift. Makes the car lurch while braking too.

I still drive in that mode most of the time though for the better throttle response. Car feels so much slower without it, Lol. Can't wait to get my Lund tune (w/Procharger) and I will ask them to bump up the Normal mode throttle response so I don't need to be in Sport+ all the time.

Yeah I can't stand the downshift rev matches. I like them when I'm not braking, but the second I need to brake and it rocks me back and forth multiple times over 5-10 seconds... That's when I switch to drive until traffic moves along again.

I find myself switching between D and S depending on the situation. In S it's ready to downshift and go fast with a hair trigger.

I seem to be in the minority... I like the rev matching :-)

At least on mine - if in "S" at the shifter, the car will always shift up into 6th @ 62mph. It's consistent every time.

I drive in Sport+ mode most of the time, shifter on D. Mine shifts into 6th, but does downshift to 5th with any touch of the throttle or deceleration.
X2 on that :cheers:
