What mode do you use most?

[Jasandjules]

Comfort generally when I have the baby in the car. Sport when not..... (well, individual with sports engine and suspension but comfort steering)

 

[Bajie]

C63 seems to like Sport when in town
I think I will use Comfort when on the Motorways for work commute
Not had long enough to really use S+ or Manual

As my car only offers S(Standard) or C(Comfort), I feel quite hard done by now!

The wife used to use Comfort, but now uses bold...........Lovely

Poll is closed but I warm the engine up in Comfort then it goes into Sports+ normally.

Don't you find Sport+ a little OTT for day to day driving?

And not very economical

I use C all the time. Even when trying to beat Morris Minors away from the lights.

Interesting Martin
I tend to keep sports + in reserve so as to use that to teach repmobile insignia estates a lesson or two with their idiotic driving

Wish mine had a transmission oil temperature gauge like the 213, I’m good at waiting for the Oil and Water to reach temperature but no earthly clue what the ATF is doing...

At least you have an oil temp gauge!

I only have a water guage but it is in a sub menu so takes ages to find it. I wonder do Mercedes just assume their car will not overheat? I also presume they have alarms galore if anything goes wrong.

And I think I've used Sport + about 3 times in six months, Sport is generally enough to mooch along

Oh dear...can you not do that in comfort?

Wow...that's a backward step not having water temp permanently on the dash.

I do look at it occasionally but tend to go more off the oil temp than the transmission, which takes an age to get up to anything like. Incidentally, the oil temp changes to "white" at 70 degrees now and not 80 as in the 212, whilst the transmission changes at a relatively low 50 degrees.

Thanks Dave - good info... yeah I just wait until the oil moves off blue then gun it a bit more. That’s lucky as it’s just as I get on the M53 in the morning on my daily commute!

That’s interesting, been out in the 212 today and mine moves into the white in oil temp at 70 (well 71 actually), wonder of they made a change?

Comfort at the moment. Can’t wait for the first 1,000 Miles to be over.

It does seem to take a while..
