Try it though, it's quite entertaining if you have the DSG gearbox, as it flicks it to Neutral when you lift off the throttle so you're just freewheeling along. Quite an odd sensation!
Eco mode is useless, most efficient way to drive is using the paddles, the auto box doesnt shift up early enough. You can be in 6th gear at about 35 mph by shifting the dsg gear stick left and changing up yourself. 40 mpg out of 280 horsepower car is pretty impressive.
Economic mode in the manual Cupra seems to shift the torque curve. It feels easier to drive. I tend to leave mine in eco because I hate the noise of the soundactor (spl?). I need to get it switched off.
Comfort mode seems to deactivate the soundactor thingy. I have my individual set up with sporty everything else but comfort mode engine, kind of like a de-powered mode for winter roads
