Sport Mode Test

Much more “cool “ to arrive at Tesco’s, or wherever the race finishing line was, to be plugging in at the free pit stop fuelling unit as the car you pulled away from draws up. The driver asks about the car that out dragged him and you say it’s just a cheap estate car the you habitually drive in eco to save on free fuel used 🤪
 
I was definitely ahead off the line! I actually backed off at the end as he was clearly in a rush to get somewhere.
Yeah - looked like the 0-30mph is the MG5's strongest range with the 30-60mph being fast but ICE cars pull a little back at that stage. Especially when you back off 😀

Then there’s that wonderful smugness on hills, the steeper the better, and in any mode, as the motor just tugs endlessly onwards as the ICE’s search for ever lower gears in you’re (distant) wake 👌👌👌.
 
Very funny conversation with your kids - you have your hands fun there!
I used to put it into sports mode around town, as I thought it'd be fun and I didn't mind about the cost - plugging in at home occasionally.
But I did find it annoying how much I ended up spinning the wheels every time I put my foot down.
So I am an Economy convert now - still plenty of zip if in a hurry!

Yep, they are pretty funny :) I'm going to attempt explaining economic driving at some point!
 
Hi all
I was on the A61 coming from Barnsley to where I live and a Subaru Impreza came storming up behind me so I popped it into sport mode and gave the accelerator a tickle 😉 and the scooby was a small spec in the rear view mirror 😂
O such fun😂😂😂😂

Behave yourself. :LOL:
 
Sports mode only adjusts throttle / brake sensitivity not actual power. sorry to be a spoil sport!

I hate sports mode, it spins the wheels & stops so quick I expect airbag deployment!

I guess I got used to eco mode, sometimes normal mode.

True.
Although I usually drive in normal mode, I like the quicker response from half pedal in ECO mode
as the curve steepens.

I’ve been using sports mode for this stretch of duel carriage way to blast off and get ahead of the crowd on a regular longer trip, but today I forgot to flick the switch as I approached the start. Result was same acceleration and leaving everyone standing, but I found the steering too loose at speed in Eco
