Standard "Steptronic" example
The software is completely different. Example, if i use the paddles with out the "sport button on" it is a lazy manual shift. Push the clutch, grab the shifter, slow pull, engage the clutch, gear engages, revs raise.
SAT software
Push the sport button, hit the paddle shifter, by the time you push the paddle, your in the next gear with throttle blip and at RPM is instant. smooth down shift and imperceptible.
