Difference between Eco, normal and sport modes

Think the HP setting is more of a throttle response setting. Smaller movements of the pedal result in more power to the wheels. Pedal force seems to affect the brake assistance more than anything else. TBH I don't like high pedal force, it makes the brakes very grabby. I use custom mode all the time - sports setting for power, heavy for steering (which is still far too light IMO) and normal for braking (pedal) force.

I agree. I use custom with a similar setup but with normal horsepower. I have been using eco but found it a bit boring

and I was amazed how light the steering is even in sports mode.

Well I can try it on the way there and normal on the way back and see what the figures say

Let us know

Not sure ECO makes a blind bit of difference when cruising.

In other words, you have taken a stand against eco mode without knowing the facts. And you call others mentalist!

Just so you know, you've replied to someone who was banned from the forum over 2 years ago.

Any one played with custom mode, how much difference to steering, braking etc actually occurs.

I put mine in custom almost all the time. Sport for drive, heavy for steering and normal for pedal feel.

Even in heavy, the steering is far too light for my tastes.
All the pedal feel does is make the brake pedal ludicrously sensitive, essentially turning it into an on/off switch.
Sport mode makes the accelerator pedal more sensitive, providing more power for smaller movements and putting it in permanent AWD.

Mine's an XPower model though. How the Trophy reacts to those settings - no clue!
