there's 3 settings, ECT PWR, Normal, and snow..... ECT PWR keeps you in the power band during normal driving for less effort on the gas pedal.... doesn't give you extra power, just keeps you in power band... pay very close attention when driving your car with that button on AND off... you'll see a difference between normal and ECT PWR
IMO it's not better to use simply because it feels soo abusive when i use it on my gs430 =\

In addition to what was just posted above, the car has a nice punch when in the PWR mode, however gas mileage will suffer.
When put in the SNOW mode, it will start the car from a standing start in second gear. This, when in snow, will help to avoid wheel slip and provide more traction to get the car moving.

I have never ever turned the power setting off for ore than a day and I have noticed when I leave it in normal mode I get 10% better fuel economy. It stops the excessive down gears and increase in rpms while accelerating. The car will still pull but you have to put your foot in it
