ML63: Manual shifting vs Sport Mode
Which mode are you finding to offer the best performance?

I enjoy paddle shifting (damn the automatic) but am I actually gaining anything over Sport mode?

Manual is fastest shift times but you need to have perfect shift points to match the performance in D/S.

Good Luck
