If you are able to see what gears the gearbox selects and when would also be very interesting. I'd like to know if you do experience any delay in the car building speed.
Will get back to you on this. You only see the selected gear in the dash when in semi-automatic mode. Not tried this much yet.

Initial thoughts on pick up are it's much better than the Q5 which seemed to hesitate a lot more when you put your thought down
