Daily driving in Non M mode is best

After owning the m2c for 1.5 yrs, I prefer to drive the car around in Non M mode w/ a normal throttle response and steering in comfort vs M mode and heavy steering. Steering heft is a matter of preference, but with the throttle response dialed back, the car feels much more linear and less frenetic.

Anyone of a similar opinion?

Hopefully none or conversely, so much booze that the Uber Camry feels like an M2.

You’re on to something. I do enjoy it more in Comfort now that I’ve had it a while. Love the split personality that throttle, steering, and exhaust changes deliver.

The cooling profile helps coolant temps come up quicker too, which is a nice side benefit.

Hmm. I always drive in Sport mode. I feel the throttle response is too slow in comfort.
