Welcome from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Best of the Best (BOB) forum.

Talking about C or S mode??
Well, I took jbanks15 advise in one of his thread, I now use the S mode.

I did many testings for about a month now for both modes.

I find that the C mode is really nice and smooth to drive.
In the S mode, it is a wee bit jerky like a horse bolting out of the stable from standstill but after getting use to it, one should know how to control the accelerator pedal. Then it will be fine but still not as smooth as the C mode.

But strangely enough, it give better mileage.
With 30 liters on C mode = 200 km
With 30 liters on S mode = 220 to 230 km

I suppose because on S mode it take off from second gear.

Anyway I am glad to found this out here & using S mode all the times.

Thank you & have a nice day

Hi
Good day.
Yup, I do drive a slow speed at about 60 to 80 kph most of the time
unless I have a few & in the middle of the night on the highway
with the top down & with techno music on > zoom > up to 230kph.

Yup, I am an old guy in my 60'
Best toy I ever bought but cheaper than my old Merc E300

Thank you & have a nice day.
