MY2019: Manual choice of driving level

One of the often mentioned criticisms is that there is no “manual alley” in the circuit. I had to play around a bit on a longer motorway stage today (at first unconsciously, then I became curious). I think the car (model year 2019, according to dealers all the updates recorded) in SPORT (and SPORT+) seems to stay on manual once you have treated it with the seesaws until you either stand (almost) or pull the selector lever again after “D”. Whether this is also the case with C omfort and Eco is true, I don’t know yet. Can and would like to “reveal” someone or have I “discovered” something that is known for a long time? CnD
