Hey All...

I have about 10K miles on my A5 (Automatic) and over the last 2K or so began driving exclusively in S (Sport) mode. Has anyone else noticed, or is aware of, any negative effects of doing this over a long period of time?

It's definitely more "punchy" and more like I'd drive if I had stick...

are the wrinkle lines that form when you grin so much. Makes the 3.2 perform at a higher level.

are not exactly passenger friendly but use it a lot on my own. Nothing to worry about with it other than $$ for gas.

I tend to keep it in drive and use the paddles when I need a little extra oomph. Using sport mode all the time kills gas mileage. But when traffic is light sport mode is great!
