Ok slightly ambiguous title but it made you look!!

I've had my MINI Cooper for around 4 weeks now and have been running it predominately in Green mode due to short trips and urban commuting. I was leaving the gym tonight to go home, only a 5 minute drive and thought I'd try it in Sport mode for the first time.

OMG the difference is incredible! The power is amazing and the gear changes - unless I'm imagining - are so much smoother.

Think I'll have to use sport mode a lot more!!!

Good innit?! But don't get caught in a speed trap as I have nearly been a couple of times.

Who cares about the price of fuel anyway!

 

[pjsjr13]

Hahahahahahaha. That's great

I didn't order a 2015 MINI to save fuel, even though it does. EVIL EPA!

 

[Lonelycupid]

Like a completely different car yes?
2 cars for the price of 1 and a half! Score!!

Told ya...green is p*sh ..... why is it even there????!!!!

 

[MintMark]

It's there so you can play the game with the little fish!

Colourful Language!

Donna, as a spokesman for the United Deep Blue Fraternity, I'd like to advise you & your Violent Orange supporters that Green mode is fine for long motorway trips with the cruise-control on... otherwise, it's best avoided!!

Nearest motorway to me is over a 100 miles away give me hills, glens, twisty roads and SPORT any day >>

 

[MintMark]

So, what does sport mode actually do?

Something with the acceleration and the steering it feels like... but what is it adjusting underneath?

Now I'm very envious... I didn't think anywhere in the UK was 100 miles away from a motorway. Really 100 miles? Hills, glens & the twisties - now you're talking MINI country!!

Now in my current 1 series the Sport, Comfort (=Mid) and Eco Pro (=Green) settings make hardly any difference

I'm intrigued to know what the mini will be like when I pick it up on the 1st!

My 1 series has a big difference in the 3 settings.

 

[MiloMini]

Seriously it's like driving 3 different cars!! Did some more sport driving today and the difference is huge!

Green Mode has the fish, does sport have anything fun?

 

[MintMark]

Yes, sport mode has the excitement app with the torque and power meters and stuff...

[Leslie Hammond]
