Nope, it's always in no mode, just a generic setup, likely close to what "auto" would be, only it will not change based on how you drive. You do have the manual shift gate if you have the S-tronic, which will change the shifting and engine to behave like Dynamic when you put it over there into the +/- gate. If you are a 6MT, you are stuck like you are at stock.

When you move it over into the manual shift, you will see the "D" for drive on the instrument screen between the speedo and tach change to "S" for Sport mode. This makes the gas pedal more sensitive, opening the throttle more and sooner than when you are in "D" as well as it makes the transmission hold the gears till higher in the RPM band, and shift harder and faster than when in "D."
It goes without saying that this will also wreck your MPG if you are watching how much gas you use, but it will also do wonders for the grin on your face.

Confusion may stem from the fact that sport diff cars don't have the S setting on the shifter, only D and manual?

My car doesn't behave this way. Moving it over to manual shift causes M# to appear on the display, where # is the current gear. S only appears in the S setting. I think the jury is still out regarding the nature of the shift behavior and throttle response in manual mode. In my opinion, it is the same as D, not S.

I think you are right, I was under the impression from others who have no Sport Diff, that when it is put into the manual gate, it gets the "S" and is in sport mode - if this is not the case, is there a button for Sport mode? Sport Diff cars get "M" mode when it's moved over to the gate, and to get the equivalent of sport, we have to hit the button to get Dynamic from the engine/transmission.

Yes, I'm a driving enthusiast and my gas mileage s*cks!
It still displays 14.6 MPG in my computer 2 readout, but my odo just went over 5K and I'm hoping my mpg will go up any day now.....
Right!
