Totally agree. Mine is a 1.6 diesel! when its in Dynamic its like an S3! which is why this whole button thing is quite a big thing for me! I find it weird that people with higher powered engines dont see the difference. Surely the way the car handles from not being in Dynamic but it stating they are, would be felt even more if you have a higher powered engine? i must say i only have 2 options on mine, Engine & steering changes, and these are incredibly different when in or out of Dynamic.
I think the difference is immensely more pronounced the bigger and sportier the car gets. Simply because more things change, the change is often technically more drastic and is multiplied across a bigger output.
It's all relative. You say your 1.6tdi feels like an S3 when in dynamic. At the end of the day not much is actually changing, you have to push the pedal a bit less further down for the same 100 odd BHP to be applied and your steering wheel is a bit heavier to turn. It may vibrate the windscreen a bit more via the cabin sount actuator to give you a different cabin noise. If it's stronic it will hold the gears for longer which is what you don't want in a diesel.
I've had expereince in 2.0tdi, 2.0tsi, 3.0tsi, 4.2fsi, 5.2fsi basic spec, S and RS.
One button press, click of the throttle or pull down of the lever in mine goes from a near silent car with light steering that smoothly changes gear at 2k rpm, feels like your driving a jelly on the sea and will never oversteer to something entirely ridiculous.
That one action changes valves in the exhaust, valves in the airbox, valves in the inlet manifold, damper stifness, ride height, throttle mapping, shift points, shift intensity, ignition timing, adds fuel to the exhaust through split injection for the upshift farts, does auto downshift blips of the throttle, steering weight, steering ratio, diagonal stiffness of the DRC system through cornering, front/rear torque bias, it turns on the electronic sport diff to alter the rear left/right torque balance.
