First post so please be gentle. I have just got my Formentor 1.4 automatic e-hyvid V1 after 18 months of waiting for delvery and overall I am overjoyed with the car. I do however have one problem which I am hopeing some kind people on this forum can help with.
As default when I start to drive the car its in the default drive mode, when driving the car the pickup and the switching of gears is awfully slow to react. Its especially noticabe from standing starts and at low speeds, I press the accelartor to the floor and it takes several seconds for the car to react and get on its way through the gears and up to any kind of speed, this doesnt happen once in a while its all the time.
However when I switch to sport mode the problem completely disappears and the throttle is instant. I am not a quick driver at all and wouldnt usually use the sport mode at all for driving but the drive mode is just unbearable.
My question is essentially regarding MPG, is there a significant difference in MPG between drive and sport mode, would it be reasonable to drive in sports mode all the time or would this simply use too much fuel to be finacially practical?
Sorry about the lomg first post and thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
