I drive in C until the engine is up to temperature and then I switch to S.

M mode every day, all day. I've got control with the paddles, and I love to hear my AMG exhaust on the downshifts.

S=98%, C=%, M=1%
Before buying it I thought I'd use M mode. But it's so shabby and so slow that I'm driving on S most of the time for now. Unless racing or something.

S-99%, C when I come in late at night as not wake the neighbours or their dogs up! Nothing like a C63 rev to wake the dogs and get them barking!

Mostly C because I cruise with a 2 year old wing man
But when I go out by myself S and ESP Sport
Not a fan of M mode, I think that S knows better than me what gear to use. After all it is still an automatic, if it were SMG or similar I would definitely use M mode.

S...with an occasional M

The wife isnt as happy with the downshifting b/c i find myself constantly doing it

Curious, those that use M occasionally, you ever forget your in M mode if your on the highway or extended constant speeds?
