Which drive mode do you find you're using most often?

We don't have sport + in 'murica. But from what I've seen sport + is just regular sport mode with traction off which we can manually do in the US. So not a real big deal.
I drive in sport primarily. Should explain why my mileage sucks. But hey at least I planned my heavy foot into my 2018 budget...lol

Comfort... mainly because that is one of the only two that will be remembered when starting the car! Would like drive mode default as a setting please!

On the way to work in the morning I typically drive in comfort mode since the traffic is so heavy.
On the way home I will put it in sport mode. It's crazy how much more reactive the pedal is in sport mode compared to comfort it almost feels like two different cars.

Comfort mostly. I'll put it in sport momentarily when I accelerate on to the freeway or am in the twisty bits. I love the way the car feels in sport but it's a little high strung for general commuting and traffic. On the flip side, comfort often feels a bit lazy. I'd love a setting somewhere in between the two for daily driving. Since the modes are all software based, in theory, it would be easy for Kia to update them with a reflash.

Right now during winter I am mostly driving in Custom mode where everything is set to sport except AWD which is set to comfort. But I plan to try the smart mode in the summer as I like that it basically switches automatically between comfort and sport.

Hey Clearly Canadian, I had an '06 TSX, I loved that car. Had it totaled out from under me. Got an '11 TSX to replace it but never liked it quite as much. That one also got totaled out from under me s well after someone ran a red light and t-boned me.

Gosh, where do you live? Lol.
Was it manual? I also loved that car, hail damage and all.

Lol. I think Acuras are cursed for me. after the second one was totaled, I bought an Optima.
Mine was an automatic with the technology/ navigation package. silver with a dealer installed spoiler and some Acura premium wheels that I had never seen on another TSX. I bought it used when it was a couple years old. It was sharp. I see them occasionally and still think they look great. Only car I think I miss more was my '91 CRX.

It will return to ECO or Comfort, but not to Smart, Sport, or Custom (those will only return to Comfort).
