You still have to select individual every time you start the car to have the engine in cupra :S
May be wrong but I'm pretty sure brakes are not effected by the mode changeYeah, suspension and stuff stays in the mode selected but engine and tranny resets to comfort. Only guess I have is that it has to do sth with regulations. If they have to do that I would also like my brakes to be reset to comfort because sometimes when I drive another car whole day and come back in cupra in cupra mode I tend to brake too hard Just try changing the modes and touching the brake when moving slow, difference is huge.

Also they seem to grip stronger with less pressure when collision alert gets to second level (apply the brakes). I could be wrong of course, never really tested it for the sake of it.
Doesn't it change the gearbox too? Shifting speed or shift point? If it does it would affect acceleration.
Not sure. I drive manual.Doesn't it change the gearbox too? Shifting speed or shift point? If it does it would affect acceleration.
In a DSG it changes gear super early at low revs and idles lower than Sport and Cupra. For example yesterday I was driving in eco and it was in 7th on a moderate incline at 40 mph! It also goes into neutral when not accelerating or braking which takes a bit of getting used to.Not sure. I drive manual.
from what others have said, eco mode allows the car to coast.
However if you accelerated heavy it would still kick down an accel the same as other modes or not?In a DSG it changes gear super early at low revs and idles lower than Sport and Cupra.

Cruise control acceleration has a seperate setting under ACC in the vehicle config so I believe with cruise control active it would use the ACC mode for acceleration.
I believe so yes. It just takes a bit longer to decide you want to accelerate quick. I've never tried the kick down point on the accelerator in Eco mode but I think all modes would respond the same and accelerate as quickly as possible.However if you accelerated heavy it would still kick down an accel the same as other modes or not?
That's when you see the eco icon appear in the DC.
In the manual all the eco mode offers is guidance on when to shift gear (if you have the setting enabled).
