Have had my LR 5 since 30th March 22 and over the period I've used N once or twice never S as I think that Eco is well fast enough for anybody's use and being an old git and had about 17 cars of various type, the power the 5 gives is immense and why would we need to go faster unless is a race at the lights ! which is posy and satisfying to say the least...a bit of fun but for general use Eco is my choice of velocity ....

If I may say, I feel that as one gets a little older, one gets a little more careful (not as confident).

I have observed this in my dad , and he is the first to agree, that he is not as confident as he was just a couple of years ago.

Removing a driving style for the masses, because it may offend a certain group, is not in my view, the way forward,


I believe the differing driving styles are a godsend. Back in that day, a car was a car. Drive it fast (If was a chance for the mere few) or drive slow (for us mere paupers).

we now have a choice, and the best of both Worlds.

This time will come to me also, of that I am convinced, but until it does, I feel that if a car manufacturer can make a car that suits all levels of driving ability and needs, for the same price that meets their R&D, and we, the consumer, enjoy, bring it on, and keep buying. This is greasy! That’s what I what I say.
 
I get my fun from driving the other car :love: 😈

Will try to remember this thread the next time I get my little ‘hobby‘ out of the garage, and take an arse end pic 👍
 
Steering is at its best in this mode IMHO.
Conversely, it is way too light in ECO.
 
Used S mode a couple of times, scared myself and stopped lol.
I began using Eco and kers 3 all the time but moved to Normal and kers 2 (default) because the savings just weren't noticeable (particularly if you use cruise as much as possible).
 
Must admit the first time I used it I had a Bum Pucker Factor of 10! Nowadays I keep it at 40% power and restrict the top speed to 60 mph. Unless I have an attack if hooliganism 🤭

TBH, most of the time I'm in 'custom' and keeping to legal speeds. Thumb out of Bum tho' 'cos you don't normally get a second chance on a motorcycle if you're not concentrating😲
