S/W switch - good heavens!

I've been using my C240 in only the W mode till now because the dealer said that that's "standard" mode while S stands for "Sport"... not true, if previous threads on this group, which I've just now been scanning through, are to be believed!!

If as has been said hereabouts the W is just for winter driving in icy conditions, I'm using it in the exact right country - United Arab Emirates :)))))

Can't wait to turn the key on and press the S button :\

But I also now know why my car has always felt as inertial as it has... it's probably the only gripe I've had thus far with my Merc!

The 5 miles or so per liter will reduce hereon but I'm changing to the S mode nonetheless :)

Also I note that my wife, for example, can't stand the 1st gear start and much prefers fthe 'smooth' start of 2nd gear. Myself, only when I'm drinking a coffee while driving :-)

Perhaps you want to know, if you change to an S with 7G-tronic, it would start with the second gear in "normal" or comfort mode, in "S" or sports mode it would start with the first gear, and at kick down of course always.
