• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Loving sport mode when I need it!

I've been doing a bit of long-distance driving. I've made three 400+mile trips - 7 hours straight each time - in the past 6 weeks since I got my Telly. Much of the ride is through the mountains between 55-65 mph posted speed limits. One end of the trip is 7400 ft. The other is 4600 ft. There is a 9000 ft. pass, several 10000 ft. passes, and an almost 11,000 ft. pass in between.

I tend to drive in smart mode.

Most of the time it sits in eco or sometimes comfort.
But I love when it drops into sport mode. I am not patient with summer-vacation mountain drivers. I love the get-up-and-go when I need it.

Perhaps I haven't popped mine in sport mode enough just yet, but sport mode does not feel much different than comfort mode.

Yes sir.. I get a kick out of it myself as well! Especially when getting on the expressway or just passing someone up on the expressway..

I certainly feel the difference between the two. There’s a lot more pull when stepping on the gas in sport mode.

Here, too. I feel a big difference between Sport and Comfort. I like both.
