I ran my Clubby for the duration in Individual, everything set to sporty except the noise generator which was set at Pure or something (ie. “Off”). Gearbox left in normal and as fredgroves says, flick the bean when you need to give it beans! Handy to prevent stop/start kicking in when waiting for a gap on roundabouts and junctions etc.
Leave the parcel shelf out to hear the exhaust better, the exhaust is quite vocal on acceleration but quiet at other times. It’s actually quite pleasant. Then again I’m old and it’ll certainly be no Porsche type experience as far as sounds go.
The driving modes don’t make huge differences. The steering response is probably most noticeable and the Soundaktor thingy is annoying on anything other than “off”. Have a play with settings and see what you prefer. You’ll probably find after a play over the first week or so that you settle on something and hardly ever touch it again.
