What Performance Modes do you use and when?

I'm sorry if this question has been posted but I did search and couldn't find it even checking the Performance Threads. I do have a mind of my own but I enjoy hearing the thoughts of others so I'm wondering what modes you guys like to use most.

For me, it's too early to say as I only had the car 1.5 days. I haven't even tried to test the performance and acellerations in the different modes yet. I want to take it easy on the car for a while during break in and I'm braking me in too to get real comfortable with how she handles in various situations. LOL!

I do love the sound increase from Touring to Sport though.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Is this true? I haven't noticed an audible difference between sport and track when I put my foot down. I thought both modes opened the valves identically and the only differences were in responsiveness/controls.

Touring display (like the fat tach display and ability to put speed limit in center display when driving unfamiliar roads), Sport mode (steering and throttle response). And contrary to the implications of the 'default' label associated with Touring, the Sport mode shows up as selected when you start the car if that's the mode you pick in Settings.
