Preferred Driving Mode
Just curious how most people spend their time.
I find I typically put it into Sport as soon as I start moving. The difference is pretty dramatic.

I try to stay in Eco or comfort, but after the first minute of drive, my finger always push the button up to sport. It's out of control

4,000km here, I have been using Comfort 95% of the time. Personally, I find sport a bit too sharp with the throttle response, also engine torque at higher rpm spoils some of the comfort. So only uses sport when the "mood" comes. Can't stand Eco-pro (only used less than 5 times).

I prefer the sport mode most but to be somewhat gas conscious, I drive in comfort too. I would say I'm about 50/50 between the two. On road trips, I'll set the cruise on and turn on ECO mode.

There's one in Eco Pro. I use it strictly unless I really wanna go fast. The bonus km is cool but its a tiny gain for a full tank. If I am lagging up a hill I'll downshift to get going again.

Comfort until there is some open space on the Seattle roads and traffic lights, which is not the majority of the time. I haven't used ecoPro for more than 10 seconds at a time so far.

I'm over EP. Comfort/DS for me driving around in traffic & long, straight, boring country roads. Sport, whilst driving on twisty, windy, hilly country roads. Never need S+, as I don't intend on driving on gravelly roads or sliding the car.

Car usage is 90 % commuting Home/Work for around 65 miles with 90 % Highway and mostly just beyond traffic jam hours. In this situation I mostly drive in ECO PRO mode. There is just a passage of a few miles(Crossroad Merging) where I usually change to COMFORT Mode (direct throttle respons).
For short trips (< 10 miles non highway) the car stays in Comfort Mode. Very rarely use Sport mode when engine is on temp. (5%) |

Preferred and most-used are not necessarily the same. I have to think most people prefer sport, but it's not the most practical if you make the stop and go slog to work each morning.

i've had the car for 6 days and i've probably been in eco pro 90% of the time since it's been snowing/raining on off every day and i'm usually in stop/go traffic
have yet to try sport, waiting until the break in period and nicer weather to open her up |
