    Fun fact: Quattro is fully 'turned off' in efficiency mode, and only turns on when it senses slipping wheels. In the other modes, it always sends a small amount of power to the rear wheels.

      Aaaand the 2.0 EA888 Gen 3 engines do not use the cylinder on demand function, so no 2 cyl drive in the TT (or gti)!

    One thing I did was to set the * button on the steering wheel to Drive Select. Which is great when I am at the lights and the car next to me is looking like he wants to have a go. Being able to change it to Dynamic without taking my left hand off the steering wheel makes all the difference for me. Just feels more safe and comfortable.

      @@staggabob Yes it is. Which I only realised after I posted the above. As I only had my S-Tronic TT for a few months and not realised that sport mode is also dynamic mode. I do still prefer having the * button on modes though for switching between comfort/efficiency/dynamic. But yes when I now want to boot it suddenly, I just engage sport. Love my TT. It’s my second one and my first petrol. I expect I will have another for my next car before I switch. Hopefully a TTS next time though.

    Sold my TT 45TFSI Quattro just 4 months after buying it. Guys, if you want a fun car to drive you need rear wheel drive. Get an MX-5 or a Boxster/cayman. I've had all of them and to be honest the TT looks nice and has a great interior but it's dull to drive. Lift off oversteer is not a useful or fun dynamic.

    Nice video, but, a couple of things that are incorrect as a TT 2.0 STronic quattro owner : Effiency Mode: There is NO cylinder on demand technology. Also, you mention you think that there is a noticeable shift from coasting - this is incorrect - As this is a dual clutch gearbox, the next gear is already spinning and when it engages from coasting - it is seamless. Also you don't explain the AUTO mode. One thing that is correct is your broad smile when you put it in Dynamic mode, as you say - this is how the car is intended to be driven!

    • @JamesCF10
      @JamesCF10  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Harrison, maybe your car feels different to mine because whenever I use Eco I can feel the gears engage (which makes sense due to engine braking etc) although I am due a gearbox oil change so maybe things will feel a bit smoother when it’s done 👌🏾

  • @jameswinans2270
    @jameswinans2270 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is Jim again. I just watched your discussion on the drive modes. You never mentioned S or Sport. Is that not available in the uk? I can choose all the options that you showed and I generally run it in dynamic all the time because that gives me the best steering, shifting, sound, and overall responsiveness of the car, but that does not keep the RPM up high. When I tap the shift lever back and it goes to Sport it jumps about a thousand RPM and then everything gets super sharp and responsive. Coming into corners it down shifts just the way I would do on a manual transmission and then as I come through the corner and accelerate out once I get up to a speed I want I just tap it back again and it goes into D or drive and the RPMs come back down. So it's just like a manual downshift into a corner accelerating out through the gears and then going into overdrive for casual cruising. So listening to you and watching your videos it appears that the Sport mode is not available to you. Is this true? If any of you are buying a US model then this will all make sense as I drive in D or Drive most of the time. That is not efficiency or comfort as I always leave it in dynamic mode. When I want more performance I tap the shift lever back and it transitions to Sport Mode. I leave it in sport mode just for the performance that I want and then tap it again and it goes back into drive and the RPMs and the shift points go back to normal Drive settings . I hope this all makes sense. The difference between driving in D or S for sport is a big change. Sport mode is the place you want to be if you want to really enjoy the car. Obviously the revs are higher so then you want to get back into D for just your normal cruising. The throttle feels more flat at lower RPMs and lower throttle positions but then when you go to sport all that disappears and throttle response is instantaneous and right from the lowest revs it is sharp. Dynamic mode combined with sport is what really makes this car come alive. 😀

      @PC-hp6gz 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I just picked up a 2018 model and we do have sport. It is listed as dynamic as a car setting but that swaps the gears to S (sport). I have come to settle for selecting dynamic. Around town etc, have it in D and then on longer motorway journeys, I pull back on the shifter to pop it into S.

      I have a remapped 15 reg S-Line Quattro. I have not noticed much difference tbh. Of course if you boot it everywhere it’s going to be much less fuel efficient after a map. But on average I still get around 300 miles from a full tank of Tesco Momentum 99. Which I would totally recommend over standard fuel as it’s better quality and reduces the chance of knocking.

Anyways, i thought it felt less powerful, but i wasn't sure. I think in efficiency/ manual the computer sets things so they are in efficiency. What i do like about like about driving in efficieny mode is coasting in netraual, its perfect for back streets where you cant go to fast anyways and lets the car roll.
