Is driving in Power ECT mode all the time bad?
I drive in Power ECT mode all the time. I feel better acceleration, shifts at higher rpm's, etc.
But my question is ... is it bad for the car? Just curious, thanks.

Nope. I use it all the time. I use it in city driving, and freeway speeds (45-55).
I don't use it at highway speeds (65+), because it doesn't make much of a difference, it downshifts when it needs to and I'm usually going about 80-85mph which feels like the sweet spot for this car since it's in the power band at that speed due to the rpms being high.
