Ive got a Scirocco 2.0TSI DSG without the ACC. When I drive it in "manual" under D with teh steering wheel controls it doesnt feel as quick as when in sport. Plus in Sport it feels much more responsive. Is there something there or is it just me?

I think there has been some mis-information circulated in the media about this. Not surprisingly when the suspension and steering are tightened up in Sport mode it "feels" like you have more throttle response.
