Driving in Shift/Sport mode question
Forgive me if the answer is obvious to someone familiar with the workings of the transmission and drive option, as I'm not.
2014 428Ix Eco mode - ok for bumper to bumper, stop & go traffic Comfort - my usual driving choice Sport - to me it is too aggressive, it feels head jarring I moved the shift lever to the left to merge onto a highway and forgot to move it back to the right. I drive for about 3 miles on the highway and another 2 miles on the streets. I very much liked the feeling of power without being overly aggressive. So my actual question is if I drive in sport mode by moving the gear shift to the left all the time is this putting any undo strain on the transmission and will I burn more gas? PS: it appears that when in this mode the S1 through S8 on the dash shifts according to the speed i'm traveling. Thanks for any insight |
