Default Driving mode

for the first year i kept it in sport- started touring for last couple days and frankly like the ride and the looser steering- i have mild 2 wild so i still enjoy the exhaust!

Sport may now be an on demand option

I do most of my driving in Tour mode to maximize the MRC. I keep the exhaust set on Track.

"Touring" is perfectly adequate for me.

I liked Sport with exhaust always in track. I would only switch to Touring on rough roads.

You don't really need to RTFM, just hit the little house button for the center display, hit the settings icon, and you'll find it. It couldn't be more simple, and likely will take you much more time to find it in the book of knowledge.

I prefer Sport mode 80% of the time. Tour when on a long highway drives or rough roads. Track is used for fun or (obviously) on track days. Tour is too soft for my tastes, I like the firmer rider in Sport. Even then is still softer then my previous car which had rock hard suspension that was so annoying the wife refused to ride with me.

Good question.

It "sparks joy" for me, in sport mode w/exhaust note on auto.

Note: I have a base model with small wheels/tires and a extra soft plush suspension too.
(No Mag.ride)

Many thanks,

Ray

The softest ride with the MRC is Tour. Sport is a little firmer and Track is the firmest
