Quicker drive select?

[Rab_m_2]

Hello!
First post but always on here having a read.

Does anyone know if there is a faster, less fiddley way to select sport mode? Press and hold something? Seems a bit crazy you need to look away from the road to cycle through the options and the odd occasion turn off the stop/start instead.

I drive in individual but when its time to have fun or quickly use a straight for an overtake, opportunity its away before you get to sport mode.
Acc - sport
Drive - Eco
Engine - comfort

Thanks

DSG? Pull the lever back

Manual, sorry

You can either press the mode button once and choose from the touch screen or keep pressing it to cycle through the modes. Three quick presses would do it.

Manual, sorry

Then how is sport mode going to help you overtake?

50 extra bhp in sport mode...

Have to admit, its a pita for me.

The mode button is out of sight from my driving position so fumble around for it (muscle memory will probably come as use it more maybe?), then having to look to the screen isn't ideal.

Much prefer the rocker style on old m135 - forwards sports - middle comfort - back eco etc

Eh?. When was this introduced? To the best of my knowledge (2 Gti's and 2 R's), Sport mode changes the throttle response, stiffens the suspension and changes the steering response. but at no time does it increase the power available.

I stand to be corrected but I think you have misread something or someone has been telling you porkies.

You'll find it easy enough after a while - it's the top left button so you have a nice edge to feel for
