C specially when motorway driving, or then S+ when doing some passes and the occasional M in the mix

Mostly C when driving around town, to and back from work.
S or M when driving spiritedly and trying to enjoy de car.
No S+ on mine as it’s a PFL car.
I’d do M a lot more if the delay between paddle input and actual shift was smaller.

- C on cold starts until engine is up to temps.
- M 98% of the time on street or having fun.
- S+ when racing from a dig or hold left paddle down for optimal gear if doing a rolling pull.

I find M mode w/ MCT to be very responsive as far as rev matching and coming to a stop. MOST TIMES i don't even use my brakes until I’m ready to come to a complete stop 5mph<. I cant remember if my PFL was as enjoyable.
Of course the MCT comes with a price as it can be harsh at times. Almost like riding a wild horse lol

depends on my mood and how aggressive i plan to drive. C and S see equal time. Comfort mode will tend to hold the gears higher numerically and require A LOT of throttle to downshift. power will also be limited in Comfort mode. In S or S+, the TCU will react to downshift gears with less throttle input and shift times will be quicker. I rarely drive in M mode, only when racing, drag, roll, road racing, etc.

I was including labor, I didn't want to presume to know their skill set or down time for the vehicle so I figured adding the fact that someone else might be installing it would be thoughtful.
But you're right, the trans itself is reasonably priced from most places.
