I've gotten pretty good at being able to change it on the fly without looking.

I'll admit I only use Comfort.

I don't find that Sport mode makes it more sportier at all, that would make sense if it actually varied the ratio, but all it does is change a software parameter of the electric motor.

Yea I feel the same way and I use comfort most of the time but I do like sport for when I feel like having some fun!

I used to drive in sport mode, but after a while i realized it just increased effort when fast steering inputs were necessary, especially at low speeds. so, i use comfort now.

When you are going down the road at 140MPH YOu want the steering wheel to be more responsive and heavier.

Advancetrac sport mode (advance button 2x brake)


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

Me too neither Earl. I put the Wifey's in comfort mode, and it just stays there. Unlike Steve, we don't have any 140 mph speed zones in my neck of North Carolina.

I always used the comfort setting. My Challenger in normal (as in in not sport) mode feels even stiffer than the Mustang did in Sport. It's stiff enough that it's uncomfortable to turn with one hand at low speeds (like driving out of the garage). Still surprises me when I realize I need to use both hands.
