Default Do U Press the Sports Mode Button Often?

I find that I prefer the sport button on about 90% of the time versus standard mode. To me it provides better throttle response, however, gas mileage really falls.

Do you folks do the same thing?

The instant I start the car, I press the button. If it could be the default (configurable), I'd be even happier.

I'm in Sport Plus all the time, unless I forget to press the button in my excitement to get going.

Sport button most of the time. Only off during first idle & rough road.

Never use it. Throttle is too touchy with it on. It doesn't give you any more power, just the illusion of power. Makes it difficult to properly heel & toe.

Only on spirited drives for me.

I do however turn on the PSE almost every time I drive the car.

First thing after turning ignition on. Normally followed by de-activating PASM, unless driving on smooth roads (not often).

Usually start out in normal then it depends on the drive. I always turn sport on the last 5 minutes prior to any shutdown though. Maybe it's a placebo but I really like pre-cooling the oil 30 degrees before I shut off all it's circulation.
