Which driving modes do you guys use for a daily drive and why?
I've been using mostly Normal with my TVD set to normal. I'm not sure of the difference between Slalom and Track TVD's.

What model year do you have? The 2017s have a custom mode which I have been using to put the drive terrain in normal but the suspension in sport. I leave the TVD in normal.
From what I understand, slalom is more for fun (more rotation, drift etc) and track is more focused on keeping things in check for improved lap times.

I drive in normal mode when off the highway, if lots of traffic on the highway or on a very long drive I leave it in normal otherwise I put it into sport+ mode because I’m usually passing most people.

The thing I don't like about modern Sport and Sport + modes, seems regardless of manufacturers is that in these two modes the transmission will not shift into its highest gears on the highway even under steady state cruise. This is extremely annoying. My BMW does it, Audi, Benz, Lexus, basically everyone does it. If it weren't for that I'd be driving around in sport or sport plus in my BMW all the time. Better and crisper shifts, better steering weight, etc...

daily commute driving (back roads and non-highway): Normal
daily commute driving when i'm feeling zippy: Sports
Highway driving: Sports+ w/ TVD on track
Traffic jams: ECO
Why? I'm the type of person who tries to use all the buttons on the thing i own.
