Comfort and Sports Mode
Hey guys,
I got my new e350 over the weekend
Loving it so far but I had a quick question to see if rest of you guys find this an issue...
Everytime I start up the car, it resets the mode to Comfort mode.. Is this happening to your cars? Out of the 3 other mercedes I've had in the past, it has always remembered which Mode I was in so when I start my car again, it stayed on that mode.
Thanks,

It has been Standard at times, for the W212 MB seems to call it Sport, in the US manual as well as in the European one. I always tend to remember this wrong.

Funny, soon they have tried all possible letters. Not typical for MB to confuse owners this way, usually the basics remain the same from model to model, not to mention from one MY to another within the same body style.

LOL, M-B has been everywhere with that "Non Sport" Button, it was "W"inter on my W220, then "C"omfort, now "E"conomy.
Economy is a better marketing angle on the current state of Economical values > Everything with cars, but I like "Comfort", as it sounds more Luxurious, and a nice contrast to Sports obvious alluding to.

"Winter" was the worst one of all (the "S" at the time stood for Summer.... Interesting to see how M-B's marketing has changed over the years).i

Anyone find a workaround or if this can be changed, I have an 07' and 11' S550 and in my 11' the "e" mode the car starts in 2nd gear. Same as everyone resorts back at start-up. Very anoying if you ask me, my dealer also stated that merc had to make it default to the "e" setting for gas milaeage reasons. It's kind of like the old lame nav screens that you had to hit accept before using. I've never once wanted to drive starting out in 2nd gear.

You car will drive the same regardless of mode if you drive that way, if you drive a little more aggressive then you will notice that the car is more receptive to aggressive driving habits in sport mode.

Or maybe she drives like Mario! (Andretti, not the guy in the video games.) You can get the car to be all hyperactive and hold onto gears in C mode too if you are aggressive enough with it. I think you are correct that the car more quickly becomes more receptive with S, but I think you can get either result (nothing or aggressiveness) in either mode.

I believe there is difference between C and S mode, to me, the S mode seems quicker off the line and the throttle more sensitive than in C mode... as far as gas mileage goes, who cares, didn't buy this car for the fuel economy
