hahah me too. I don't DD so i didn't vote.

but comfort is awesome. I have no fewer than 5 speedbumps getting out of my neighborhood.

I daily drive mine. I never take it out of +R lol.

Only time its out of +R is when the car starts up. I love the red gauges and the feel of the car in +R.

Just got it last week. 200 miles. I’d consider it daily. Live in NY so right now we are in the midst of a nor’easter so didn’t drive today and don’t see myself driving the R the rest of the week but definitely DD.

I DD and have had mine since December. My morning routine is: comfort, turn off auto engine stop and yellow dim lights on =) Then when I feel the “get away driver urge” becomes to much I punch in R mode and let him rip. I truly hate that with my winter tires I can’t give full gas in 1st-4th gear without getting the anti skid lamp to blink and feel the power loss in the engine (yes on dry asfalt). Need to have him in R otherwise I can’t accelerate properly.

Not to sound stupid but what is Auto Engine Stop?

Auto Start/Stop. The engine shuts off if you release the clutch while stationary (to save gas). I also turn it off almost everyday, in EU spec cars is the button opposite to brake hold (US cars have a blank switch there), mine is mirrored cuz UK RHD car

I use sport 100% because i'm too lazy to change it every time I get in the car.

I mostly DD my CTR, but I do drive my EK sometimes to keep it going and keep miles off the CTR.

mostly sport and I tend to go back to sport if +R gets too bumping. Yesterday, I hit an uneven pavement head-on and it felt like my gen 2 integra in the late 90s when I had weapon R "coilovers" lol. It felt like it bent both of my front rims, but luckily I dogdged a bullet.
I haven't even tried comfort mode for more than 5 miles.

Do you dislike comfort because of the steering feel or it's too soft for ya?

Only asking bc you can get comfort feel with 18 inch wheel/tires (and probably a way lower chance of bending wheels) and keep the steering in sport with the sport setting. I know in the other thread you've got scrub radius concerns, but this was money well spent for me.

I usually make changes if it bothers me enough for me to do it. In this case, the auto setting is in Sport and I feel this setting is perfect to dd w/ that sporty characteristic suitable for this car. I still roll w/ the stock wheels, so DD in +R in those is too risky for me. I'm more concerned w/ bent wheels. It's not like i don't like comfort. I'm very glad that option is there. It's just when I switch to comfort mode, I feel like I'm losing out....lol. I'm usually pretty calculated where I go for this car. As in, I've been going to the same places, so I know what kind of roads I'll be rolling on. I feel if I wanted to drive in comfort, then I won't take the ctr out. . I will try to drive in prolong periods in comfort mode one of these days. =)

Anyone drive 100+ miles daily?

 

[Mick the Quick]

I keep mine in Limp Mode.

I rarely change it from Sport. One, because I forget about the other options. And, two, because I like a consistent feel of a car. I bought the car for a certain feel and performance; so, I'd rather take from it what it can give me, rather than trying to match conditions with settings, and thus changing the feel.

Just glad that Honda limited it to 3 Modes, versus the dozens that some cars have.
