Drive Modes

I have only set Custom up once when I first got the car... Used it for driving, then on the next visit, all of the settings had been reset to defaults - so have not bothered with it since.

To clarify that is Custom being reset back to Normal drive mode, but when re-selecting Custom, they were all back to basic, rather than the settings I had chosen.

New Trophy July 23, no updates since.

Yes this is exactly what is happening with my X-Power

That's weird. I have an Xpower in UK on R40 software and it remembers the Custom setting for me (Eco drive and Sport steering as I prefer it heavier). It's there every time, although I have to switch from Normal like everyone else gets at start-up.

Honestly I can't say that the drive modes make a huge difference for me, ECO dulls the throttle response and limits the maximum power, I've not used SPORT so far so cannot comment on that. So 99% of the time I just drive in NORMAL with regen level 3. That's happens to be the default setting so it's just get in and go. If you drive a lot on motorways then the drive mode will make very little difference as you tend to cruise at a set speed, around town it will be more noticeable but personally I don't like the throttle in ECO.

Yes I agree with this.
The only one which seems to make much of a difference is the difference between sport and eco.
Personally I use normal for almost all the time.

Thanks. That's what I thought it might be. I prefer the feel of Normal to Eco so I'll stick with that.

My wife chooses Eco, not to save energy, but because she's uncomfortable with the acceleration she gets in normal. Of course, another way to accelerate more gently is to use less pedal. But Eco does encourage you to accelerate less aggressively, and hence use less charge reaching your cruising speed.

As does my wife. She prefers the response from Eco.
 
I prefer eco in town for that reason too.
Have you seen how many throttle maps GT3 cars have? Even they have eco settings for that reason. 4 to 8 maps is the norm.
ABS and traction control too: 8 to 12 maps for each.
