Type S - Different Modes and Gas

[elh0102]

I've played with various Individual mode settings. It's a good feature, but for me, it seems the factory Sport mode is the best general setting, so I usually let it default to that and forget about it. I've also noticed that, with rare exception, leaving traction control on is fine. Maybe I'm more conservative than most, but I have pushed the car about as hard as I believe reasonable for off-track driving, and it has rarely intervened.

Yes.

If tsc is kicking in on the street you're either at reckless corner speeds or hamfisting it. Even on track the traction control does a good job... It just EATS rear pads as it tries to kill the oversteer on turn in, and drags the inside rear on throttle on with steering input. Most times I see people complaining of traction control on track is because they've cooked it on turn in, or haven't been smooth on brakes or throttle...applies to all vehicles, but especially awd. Snow is another thing entirely if you have a decent tire, imo.

I've heard that about the VSC and rear pads. I have no track plans for this car, but if I change my mind, I'll turn it off for sure. Compared to many other cars, and most of the ones that I have tracked, this car is extremely forgiving. Experienced drivers would almost have to intentionally get it out of shape, assuming tires and brakes hold up, and no surface hazards.

Oh in my individual mode on the highway with cruise control turned on. I’d get 28-30mpg easily after maybe 20-45 minutes

It’s crazy cuz uphill the cruise control will dip into boost some. Maybe like 2-3 psi
