I'm still exploring the various modes. Once I have an idea how efficient the car can be, then I'll start playing with Sport.
Startup in the morning: Comfort through my apartment complex and up onto the bridge. I find I don't need Sport or to click the transmission into Sport mode to climb the bridge; the engine handles the incline and speed effortlessly. At the peak of the bridge, still at about 60-65, I click to EcoPro (and disable the A.S.S.) for the 5-mile cruise to my exit. At which time I go back to Comfort the rest of the way to work.
Going home in traffic: EcoPro w/out A.S.S. on the city streets and climbing the bridge, which is almost never free enough of traffic to make Comfort worth while. That mode I select when I crest the bridge and am heading down toward my exit there, and I stay with it until I'm home.
I'm looking forward to using Sport mode more on the weekends.
