I set mine to sport mode when I got it and have left it there.

I like the sport mode. It gives a good balance of weight and feel.

For daily driving I use 'Standard' mode, 'Sport' for when I feel like it.

When I'm cruising on the highway I use Comfort. When I'm just driving around I'm using Normal. When I'm having fun the Traction Control is in Advanced Trac Sport Mode so it's locked in Sport. Mostly when I'm hitting the twisty roads or hauling butt on the autobahn.

Advancetrac sport mode (advance button 2x brake)


Isn't that the same as if you set steering to sport mode?

I don't think so. I believe that has more to do with the stability control systems.

Same steering setting but it locks the steering in Sport and the traction control is off. The stability control is also cut back so you can slide around all you want unless it feels you going all the way around and then it will counteract that.

You can't use that traction setting and change the steering to Normal or Comfort. It's locked.

This would have been a great Poll to have.

Standard to Comfort. When I'm in traffic or driving through city streets, the comfort makes it much easier to drive and maneuver quickly, but while cruising on the highway I switch to standard.

I only use sport mode and don't see a need for any of the other choices.

I have used the other softer modes before. I let my mother try my car and she has a muscle condition that has made her weaker. I've used it myself on long boring road trips or after I injured myself playing hockey. It's pretty amazing the flexibility this car has.

I like the tighter feel, but I can see the easier modes helping for those who need it. I remember thinking there was something wrong with the steering being so loose when I first got it and wondered what was wrong until I remembered it could be changed.
