Delivery day. To sport mode or not?
 
Picking up my 6MT Argento tomorrow or Friday.. Pumped.

For those who have the car, can you explain a little about regular vs sport mode, can you get yourself in trouble even in sport or no? I think I'll avoid the full off mode until more used to the car but would like to dangle a bit ha.
Anyone have any tense situations with the frs in sport? is it a good idea to put a few miles on first?

Thanks for any input!

I cant answer your question but over here its been very wet lately so you better be awake if you decide to play with sport mode!

You can get your self in trouble with all the nannies turned on. Take it easy for a while.

simply put, if your 'cruisin' around and its all about MPG, then dont use it -- but if you see something fast pull up beside you or just want to show off the OEM growl of the boxer.. then snap it in SPORT.

i basically have it there most of the time cause its so much dam fun.

the SNOW button should just be labeled SLOW - cause its also known as the wife or grandpa button... lol

im pumpped for you --- makes me want to go fk around in SPORT TOO ...

I think he is talking about the "Sport" mode that dials back the VSC, not the "Sport" setting for the transmission, since he has a Manual.

The "Snow" setting just starts the car out in 2nd gear, I believe.
