S3 Drive Select Issue...Maybe

[BleedinParadise]

Picked my 67 plate S3 up a few weeks ago and I noticed if I turn the engine off when it's in efficiency (I know it's a crime to drive such a car in efficiency but it's a very small town) when I start it up, it stays in efficiency but the gearing goes into Drive instead of, well, efficient. I've spent a while googling but I can't find anything on it so I wasn't sure if it was actually an issue or by design to point out that it's a waste of the car to drive it in that mode...

Cheers all!
