Do you use individual settings? If so, for city or high way driving and what settings?

I pretty much use normal with the car lowered all the way down for everything.

Sometimes I use sport plus on nice curvy roads, but to be honest, it kinda kills the range.

Sport. Always sport. Sport for every where. Sport forever.

All other driving modes hold the car back. Sport is the car.
Are you racing Camrys again? 😉 😂

I forget I have different modes most of the time. I've never used Sport+, usually just keep it in normal and lower the ride height when I remember.

Any reason what you choose sport over sport plus?

I have a 4S and it doesn't have a Sport Plus mode in terms of the motor/power, only Range, Normal and Sport. There is sport plus for the suspension mode, but since it doesn't change the acceleration/drive, I don't make an effort to turn that on every time I get in the car.

I’m constantly flicking.

Normal mostly

Will flick on sport sound in city to reduce chance of people walking out in front of me

Regularly flick in and out of Sport, eg motorway slip road and twisty sections, but I do love switching back to Normal when settled on the motorway.

Sport+ when I just want to really have some fun and no one is in the car - conscious of the many pot holes though when the car is Low or Lowered.

I have set me Individual to be Sport mode, but normal height and sport sound on - tbh, I often forget about this and prefer to switch in and out of Normal and Sport as part of general driving.

I regularly enable and disable regen too, generally in engine braking scenarios, eg turning it on for a few seconds to retard the coasting down a hill without having to touch brakes.

I find it all adds to the enjoyment and is a great substitute for downshifting by paddles. I don’t tend to just sit in any one mode (unless munching miles on the motorway).

Never used Range mode - it never seems to make a significant difference, and if I’m concerned about efficiently, I might just turn off A/C :)

I have a CT 4S and typically roll in normal with one ride height below normal as well. This works well because I have all of the performance goodies. If things get serious, I go to sports mode. Haven’t had the need to go beyond but I would probably use sports+ for the track.
