This way you get the best of both worlds. Adaptive button is essentially another drive mode...and it acts exactly how it sounds. It adapts to your drive conditions (if you are driving spirited it will be more aggressive on the throttle response and the steering and suspension will tighten up. If you are sitting in traffic, it will ease the throttle response, put everything into comfort basically and turn on your auto start/stop). I like to have control so I don't use adaptive but it seems like a lot of people do use it as their daily driving mode.
Thanks for the reply and clarification! So essentially the drive modes are eco, comfort, sport, sport +, and adaptive and you can personalize with the individual setting. I have been doing my daily work driving in comfort and my more spirited driving in sport + mode which seem to fit my needs just fine. I just wasn't sure what the adaptive button on the center console does but sounds like its just another mode where the car adjusts to driving and road conditions automatically?
