Being my first experience with driving modes (unless manual transmission gears count), it took me some time and experimentation to settle on one.
In the beginning, I was having just a bit o' fun in regular-D, grinning like the piece of work that I am. The rate the charge percentage would drop was unsettling me, and I imagined I wasn't doing much for the treadlife of the front tires.
After the thrill wore off a bit, I remembered I usually prefer a more relaxed driving experience, and found myself using B-eco. I had some worries about surprising those behind me with the lack of brake lights, and the pedal feel while accelerating seemed geriatric, at times.
I've since gotten comfortable with the acceleration feel of eco, and find that regular-D seems a bit unhinged. I really like the D-eco rate of regen as well, and it's become my everyday mode of choice.
For thrills now, I use the runaway feeling from being close to 100% charge or in temperatures too cold for regen...whoa, pony!
How did you pick your go-to mode?
