Comfort/sport mode makes no sense, from a fuel efficiency standpoint.

"That earlier car also had the 2 reverse gears (722.6 5 speed transmission). i believe the owner's manual said it was for backing on icy roads in winter just like the starting in second, because it selected the higher of the two reverse gears in "W."
Interesting explanation for my W204's reverse gears..would apply if in "C" mode only then I suppose or not?

The 2003 E320 selected “W” as the default mode at temps below freezing (0 C). I don’t know if the “C” mode has that feature. The owner’s manual doesn’t mention it.

Wow! That's an awesome feature I did not know about even 15 years later. I owned a 2003 CLK 320 in Canada and always kept it in W mode during the winter anyways.
