ECT power mode

[xfuture]

How many of you are turning on ECT power fulltime?

I myself prefer driving in ECT power mode.

What I can sense while driving in ECT power mode.

- Later shift point.
- Slightly stiffer damper.. Not sure is it true or what, but when i cross over those small bumps, it's seems stiffer to me.
- More sensitive braking
- Automatic shift hold.. when you do hard acceleration, u left off the pedal suddenly, it will not shift upwards. but maintaining the same gear.

What you guys think?

to be honest i never really tried power mode........ will play with it during the coming holidays and give my 2 dents.....

but doesn't it effect petrol consumption?

FC will be very varies to your driving style. I am still able to achieve a 9.5-10km/L with full time ECT power on. my case is about 70% 80-100kmh, 30% slow/traffic jam.
