Who uses m/s

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone uses the m/s instead of full auto. I've been experimenting with it for a while now and I always forget to change it, but I like how it keeps the power until I change it. On the other hand, the auto always changes when I don't want it to. In sports mode, it revs high, but my fuel consumption takes a beating. I tried using eco with the m/s to trick the system, but it didn't really make much of a difference compared to comfort. Does anyone else use it on a daily basis? Also, does IV have the flappy selector on the steering wheel?

While I occasionally flick the paddle, it's not something I normally consider using.
It was a poor job for me since, like you, I kept forgetting to push and pull, so I gave up on it a long time ago.
Neither "eco" nor "sport" have ever been options for me.

I found myself frequently checking the screen to see which gear I was in and when to shift, especially when using it on the highway. Additionally, I saw that there is no reverse option in m/s mode.
Generally, I just sit back and let the automobile drive itself. Although it isn't strictly necessary for my vehicle, I occasionally switch to sport mode for overtaking. Avoid using green products at any costs. You shouldn't drive your automobile on that setting since it's ridiculous for pollution.

Facing the transition from a manual to an automatic gearbox after a long time behind the wheel...If I could change one thing, it would be to remove the steering wheel paddle. It gets in the way when I'm trying to fit the steering lock at night, and I'm loving having my left hand free for other important purposes
