What driving mode do you usually use?
Just curious how people drive. Do you always put it in sport mode? Sport plus? Or are you a "comfort" driver? Or do you switch it up based on your drive?

DSC off mode. Steering/suspension stiffens, exhaust opens up but you get comfort mode throttle

Sport+ on the street and DSC off on the track.

I usually put it into Sport mode prior to starting. I like the more aggressive exhaust note, and the tightened up steering and suspension. But I also like to leave the nannies on while on public roads because you never know what other drivers might do.
Once on the highway with the windows up, I'll switch it to Comfort mode. On rare occasions I will momentarily switch to Sport+ or DSC off if I feel like rotating around a turn, but this is maybe once a month at most.

Comfort with the pup in the car, in the parking garage, or sometimes in cruise control on the highway. Sport most other times and + when I want to get a little loose. I haven't turned DSC off yet.

I use sport on the street because I like the stiffer dampers and increased throttle response. I also like the overrun burble sounds the exhaust makes.
I used Eco recently on a 500 mile round trip. Got 31 mpg according to the car. Pretty sweet. |

About 90% Sport mode, with occasional Comfort mode while on the highway.
I haven't used the Eco Pro or Sport + mode in over a year.

Sport+ mainly because I like how sensitive the accelerator pedal becomes. Allows for really relaxed feet. Also, my drive to work is very mountainous and full of twisties, so it's beast mode most of the time

Sport is my default with sport plus being when I want to drive more aggressively.
I use comfort when I have a dog in the car and Eco pro when I hate myself. |
