Just wondering…
 
Comfort unless railing corners, then either custom or sport. In the mountains manual all the way.
 
Custom, all Sport settings except engine at Eco. I manually shift 90% plus of the time.

Normally I've been using smart, but I've noticed while manually shifting I can get about the same gas mileage in sport while making any local drives. Highway though I pretty much always put it on smart.

edit: had to add the info about sport mode while manually shifting.

Comfort, until I either want to get to a spot faster on the freeway or the occasional cars wanting to play. Then I switch to sport.

Comfort with a pedal tuner at 30% or so.
 
Comfort with windbooster in Sport
 
Comfort, haven't needed to switch into sport in many months. It kicks down fine when I mash the pedal.

When you go to the kickdown switch, there are no modes: kickdown is simply kickdown.

Yup, so I'm finding for 99% of the time sport doesn't do me any good on the streets. Last time I needed sport was showing off launch control to a friend like 6 months ago. After flooring it, the revs seem to hang for a bit too like they would in sport. So the benefit of an eco shift strategy with the power and rev hang available on demand. Comfort seems to be the sweet spot.

Comfort mode with pedal tuner in stage 2 +1. I dont change much unless im trying to keep my 3.3 friends in sight somewhat when we get together
 
Generally Comfort for daily use, Smart on longer trips, and put it into Sport when I want the noise. The EVC on the 22 exhaust ceratinly makes a difference.
 
Sport all the time. Exhaust note is so satisfying. I don’t care about mpg either.
 
Comfort until I want to have some fun, then either Sport or Custom.

Smart on the highway, sport around town.

Custom - everything in comfort except engine in Sport (for the louder exhaust).
 
Mostly comfort, but with an occasional switch over to eco and sport when the situation calls for it.
 
Usually comfort, and then custom or sport for more spirited driving like freeway on ramps.
