whats its sound like on accel? Hard to gauge sound from my tinny laptop speakers... makes it sound like a clattering diesel
Haha, yes it wasn't the best video either which doesn't
help! I can assure you that it most definitely doesn't sound like a diesel though!
The difference in sound is barely noticeable when I'm driving it "normally" (ie. in auto, at normal speeds with no harsh acceleration or downshifts). The exhaust note is slightly deeper and more throaty, but this is more noticeable from outside the car than from within the cabin.
It's a different story altogether when you flick to sport mode though. Put your foot down and it really does open up into a nice throaty bark. Lift off and (provided the engine is fairly warm) it pops and bangs like nobodys business. I've not noticed any significant increase in drone from inside the car either when driving normally, which is great.
To me, it's the ideal combination as it's quiet when I don't really have a point to prove, and it roars when I do!
