When I drive I terus slot it into S instead of D, unless I want to use manual mode (which is also slow and pretty useless)

Only when cruising I switch back to D. D is really lembik - upshifts too soon and reluctant to downshift.

Pretty much applicable to most newer non sport orientated cars nowadays...in the name of efficiency

The Polo 6AT sluggishness in D mode is worse than any AT I've driven. Try it to believe it brows.gif

I am seeing more Vento OTR lately. surprisingly many are the TSI variant despite the DSG's reputation
