Normal drive mode for me is Sport+ but long distance go to comfort mode to get use of 8th gear. Passing ability in the 85 to 110mph range was ultra quick & made for an average door to door speed of speed of around 78MPH @ 30MPG.



I don't use the safety nannies like lane keeper etc but do use the basic cruise control over long stretches.

All in all very happy with the car.
I am too very impressed with the fuel economy on interstates. Clarkson has it right - driving faster is better for the Earth 😜
