And is it possible to program the transmission so the car will always take-off in 1st gear. In my opinion it doesn't feel very good for the clutch when starting this 2000 kg car in his 2nd gear.
Many thanks for your reply!

When my car comes to a stop, it always shifts down to first. If the car keeps rolling like a rolling stop, it seems to want to stay in second. It never seems uncomfortable though as I can override it at anytime. Also, I tend to drive it in manual mode 90% of the time. It is very predictable. Like Precision I have started of in 2nd deliberately in bad weather but that was intentional. Works well by the way.
