I don't think the Sport/Eco switch is not intended to be constantly "played" with while driving.

And it won't get you up the hill any faster. It does not change the engine power. You will get up the hill exactly as fast in NORMAL or ECO as in SPORT, all you have to do is to push the gas pedal a little bit deeper. The only difference between modes is shift points and gas pedal response. Pressing the gas pedal 50% in in ECO will give you about the same response as 30% in SPORT. If you "floor" it, there is absolutely no difference between the three modes. The car will downshift, disconnect A/C compressor, and up-shifts will occur at redline RPMs - regardless if you are in ECO, NORMAL or SPORT.

It does a little more then that. It shifts power distribution more rearward. And tightens up the steering. As soon as I turn on the car I push the sport button. (unless the roads are really bad). I find it pretty annoying that the sport mode is not "remembered" after shutting off the car and restarting it.

Even if you don't feel the "need" for the extra throttle response in sport mode the tighter steering alone is worth driving in sport.

Funny that you say so, because throttle and transmission (shift points) behavior is exactly the same in ECO and NORMAL modes.

I don't believe that…. And even if it is true, it feels completely different. :shrug:

What would be the difference between Normal and eco then?

May end up using sport mode in summer too. But for now, it's still very cold, slippery and tons of snow so not much point in sport mode. Plus, I only have 750 kms so still breaking it in.

Hahaha push the button…. just push it….onder:
