Comfort Mode ignores second downshift
Hey do you guys have this problem? I am 5th and I would like to go to 3, i tap twice.. it does nothing.. i havent played around with other modes yet as I am in break in mode.
I also find comfort 2nd gear starting a lot of times when im rolling to almost a stop and light changes it is very hesitant to start moving.
Perhaps I need that software update??
Or is this a common thing with the car that happens to everybody?

But what happens if I dont want to go to the lowest gear possible?
I just want to go .. say from 7 to 5? to get some more power on the highway?
Is this not possible in comfort mode?
I been trying never does the second shift..

What I've noticed with mine is that you can't just quickly tap the paddle twice and have it drop both gears. Instead you need to push it when you want each individual gearshift to happen. It'll only go sequentially through each gear, and you have to actuate each shift when it is able to shift each time.
In other words, if you're in 5th gear and you want to drop it to 3rd, you can't hit the paddle twice while it's in 5th. To actuate the 4th-3rd shift, the indicator has to show 4th.
