In DS mode i.e. the gearstick knocked over in to Sport mode- the gearbox logic will hold the revs higher for longer.
I only occasionally go into Full Manual mode- normally to use lower gear engine braking when slowing down. Once back on the clear road again I go back to full auto. I find the gearbox keeps me in the power band.
Using manual mode with an 8 speed gearbox is tedious- perhaps more so with a diesel engine
