Drive Mode
Just wondering which drive mode everyone prefers driving in? I've been driving in C - Comfort mode because that's what the manual recommends for the first 1000 miles.

Generally keep it in Sport as I like the use of 1st. Starting in 2nd in Comfort is a little soft for me. I only use Manual when I'm playing.

I'm keeping it in Comfort while I break-in. I've been thinking, "wow this is the fastest car I have ever driven." Then I realized, it's starting off in 2nd, isn't being pushed hard, and I haven't gone much past 4500 RPMs.
I'm almost afraid of what will happen at 1,000 miles!

I keep it in sports mode and use the paddles to keep from gong past 4th gear in town. As your driving just down shifht to 4th and it won't go to 5th unless you shift it, but it will down shift to 3rd or 2nd if you slow down. Best of both worlds.
