Thanks guys.

Just to clear things up I do not have adapative drive, I have sports auto box and IAS.

My drive across town over the weekend revealed the same problem, the auto box seems lethargic. In other words I give the throttle a quick dab and expect it to kick down a gear and it doesn't. Or I press the throttle all the way down just to (not actually into!) the kickdown point and there is what seems to be a huge delay before the car actually drops a gear. This just makes me feel really disconnected from the car.

This is with the sports box in normal mode, I had a quick play with the box in sports mode and this is much better but then it lets the car rev too high in every gear which makes for uncomfortable and uneconomical travel for driving in urban situations.

The only solution I can think of is when next I need a quick squirt of power to just give two taps to the left flappy paddle so that I'm quickly in the power zone.
