Hi,
Early on, I coded my car to start in EcoPro, which makes the somewhat sluggish in terms of acceleration & switched to Sport Individual on winding roads & highway entry ramps. Thanks to a post by Tam the Bam, I re-coded car to start in adaptive mode, which I have found to be just as efficient (if not more so) as EcoPro, but much more responsive--with or without a destination in Nav system. I still switch to Sport Individual on winding Roads-- too much fun not to.
BTW, to dispel misconceptions about adaptive mode, please see this video:
Hope that helps!
