Question

S, standard driving, the car starts in first gear and proceeds naturally from there. The sport designation is mysterious?

C, the car starts from second gear, it is recommended for rainy days or wet roads. The comfort designation is somehow misleading.

Best bet is to check your car usage on highway, to determine which goes best with your pedal foot.

Cheers, JV
