My wife likes a car that handles well
When I used to wind out the S2000 she would ask why is there so much engine noise
She is not a fan of the low seating position in the NSX, but that car is really pretty quiet as along as I don’t stomp the gas pedal

^^^^I disagree, but it's GREAT that we have differing opinions. However, in Sport or Sport+ mode, 9th and 10th gear of our 10 speed transmission are locked out. That's a downer for me. Also, IMO, Sport+ is just too aggressive for me. Sport is fine, but as posted, no 9th or 10th overdrive gears and the suspension is set to normal. Therefore, as I voted, I drive in Custom Mode - Normal for engine performance and Sport for the suspension. Works for me

any disagreement is likely over simple terminology. we both agree and appreciate what a remarkable piece of equipment we
have ended up with; i am impressed how the AI in this buggy reflects my mood: when i'm aggressive and get on it, the car responds
and keeps the revs up and gears low; and when i'm more mellow, the car picks up on this, and kicks back. i'm not sure how
the AI and computer programming does this, but the car seems to pick up on how i feel and responds...

maybe you meant 9th and 10th gears not used in sport+?

Big V8s are most efficient at wide throttle openings and low RPMs, so I appreciate the eco mode which upshifts quickly and efficiently. Nice linear and predictable throttle response. If you need to make a quick pass it still downshifts immediately. For twisty mountain roads I'll have it in Sport+ and shift manually.
