S is sport mode which delay upshifts, advance downshifts and acceleration response for "sportier" driving.

S mode is also used to operate launch control but is not avaliable in NA GTIs at this moment.

when it is available can i go to the dealership and have them upload?????

I'm not sure but this is unlikely. DSG + launch control would probably be out for 2008 models.

S mode is really not a new innovative thing at all. i remmember 15 yrs ago when i was a kid, my dad's vauxhall was automatic and that had the S mode. knew nothing about cars then, i thought that u push that button when the car has stopped and the car is "stationary".

Would have been a great opportunity to take the OM back with you and read it cover to cover. I bet it has an explanation of S-mode.

Anyone else think the S mode is too sporty? I think they should have toned it down a little. If I want that much sport, I will be in manual override with the paddles. It would nicer if the S mode were somewhere in between D and manual, IMHO.
