SMG settings from startup?

[danp]

I have been using the CSL as a daily driver this week (which is unusual for me)...so been playing around with the settings a little.

What SMG settings do you use from cold?

I tend to start off in town, then onto A roads, so have been using A2 initially, then onto A3 and S3 once it warms up and the roads clear a little. Perhaps S4 once the oil is fully up to temp and I'd like to press on a little.

I do find the engine feels like it's labouring a little in A2 (or even A3) around roundabouts, so maybe I'm better in S2 initially so I can change when I like, but in a slow mode.

Any thoughts? Am I being overly mechanically sensitive? ;-)
