Loving the Noise from the speaker in sport mode.

Like the fact you can have an individual setting too.

Just wondering why they didn't call it VRS mode & do something with the dash lights when activated.

Because: ££

Indeed, its basically the same performance mode selection system all other models can get...the only difference in the vRS is that it gets a soundaktor and the model selection controls this too.

I think the Leon Cupra gets a Cupra mode but I am sure this is just a rebranded sport mode and nothing particularly special.

Going a little OT but have to say doesnt the new Cupra 280 ST look nice?!

Waste of a button, tbh... I bought a vrs, what other mode would I ever want it in???

Billyskoda, not sure about the vRS but, the standard models won't start in Sport Mode for the engine/DSG, something about protecting the engine when cold !!! Please check your matixdot showing the gear selection, if I turn mine off in S it'll start up in D by default.

Interesting. The  (manual) 1.4 TSi stays in whatever mode you select. As mentioned before, I rather like the engine in sport mode, but normal for all else.

The Cupra has a sport mode too... so for things like the diff and dampers & steering i think, they have 3 settings, normal sport and cupra. So the Cupra mode is a bit more hardcode... although they dont have a pre-set eco mode, you need to use the individual one to put the engine in that mode. (im getting one in march )
