Don't even get me started on that stupid sound control button! Yes, it changes how loud the exhaust sounds, but is that natural or ASD, or both? Who knows?!?

I have to think that there is SOMETHING that changes in addition to the throttle position mapping, though, since the pops and burbles change with mode (and not just through the speakers). I still think that the engine mode changes other things, which decrease fuel mileage. Even if I’m officially wrong on that position  |
It does. Still no impact on gas mileage though. From the manual:
"The "SPORT" and "SPORT PLUS" programs change the sound characteristics of the exhaust gas system. The sound takes on a sporty nature."
