Which Drive Mode do people drive in?
« on: 15 October 2014, 18:00 »
Howdy,

I was wondering as I was changing drive mode on my car for the nth time, what drive mode do most people use as default?

For me it has been normal followed by a bit of sport and then to eco, not sure there is a massive difference.

I have had the car for less than two weeks now so *really* should read the instructions!

Cheers

Chris

80% normal 20% sport for me. Only had my car in Eco once and that was enough for me but If the missus has to use it I quietly nip out and put it in Eco before she leaves :wink:. Eco = wife mode. Not being sexist or owt, its just that she is a shocking jockey

settings are a bit different on the mk6 so a toss of a coin between comfort and normal, sport only when i'm in the mood for offensive driving in countryside roads.

ROFL - Eco = Missus, so TRUE! That is what my wife drives it in, she finds the steering to stiff in Sport.

Love the Sport Mode down country lanes, until I come across horses and cyclists riding two abreast! :angry:

Very rarely change modes myself.  I'm in custom mode with all set to normal except air con which is Eco and dynamic lights which is on sport.

Does the Mk6 have driving modes?

Mines just stays in Sport or sometimes I prefer Individual so I can have the steering light but still have that quicker response.

Now my forgetful modes have been sorted out, it has to be Sport.  :evil: It sounds great inside (even if it sounds rattly on the outside). Eco is my thirstiest mode.
