more drive mode questions...
first off who drives in what mode typically? ok, i'll add a poll! 
also, does the car skip first gear in say eco, normal, or comfort, and maybe only use it for sport and sport+?

turning on the gear indicator in the gauge today, i answered my initial question... even comfort doesn't start in second. i didn't try eco.

since the car in normal or comfort is typically in 10th gear on highway anyway, not sure if eco can improve economy, although i believe it reduces a/c clout some, but doubt that would make any difference. 
might as well get the hybrid one.
Eco kind of masks the fact that we have V8 power

I switch up and like to keep things moving as they were programmed to do.

Me: Normal until broken in--then Sport/Sport+. But when hit traffics--I am back to normal.
Me & my wife: Normal
Come to think of it, I will try Eco when she is with me given she also doesn't care of the engine "noise".

My wife asked what was ticking and I replied that was just the exhaust sound
She is used to my Q50S Hybrid which is pretty quiet with the ICE running and really quiet when just the electric power is moving the car.

Just an update. Was driving alone on a twisty, hilly CT. backroad yesterday and decided to try Sport plus. The car does come alive and handles
quite well. I think I will be using it more but only solo driving. Wife not a fan of aggressive driving, likes comfort mode.
