Also, Sport mode does not directly effect the sharpness or speed of the gear change, so you will need to push the lever left for the sharp changes.

I have to admit I didn't know this. I obviously knew the lever knocked to the left and that the rocker switch altered the gear change in Sport/Sport+ but I'd never actually tried a combination of the two. Though I have since reading this
To be honest I don't often mess with the flappy paddles (trying to second guess this gearbox??) and tend to stick with auto. When I do have a run on my favourite road and change the drive settings it appears I was just using Sport Lite.
And no, I never read the handbook.
