It all depends on how you use the car...

I drive my cars a lot and refuse to rent a car for road trips when I have an amazing car to drive that was built to my specs. But I know people who rent cars to put miles on for road trips because of lease mileage limits. Why buy a car if you aren’t driving it? Seems odd to me, but arguably most German car buyers are this way.

I do a lot of 500+ mile drives to visit family and on the “boring” stretches through upstate NY where they have a trooper every mile cruise control and ECO Pro aren’t bad choices. Sport mode and CC would be an odd choice IMHO.

I got lucky only getting a warning up there at 92 MPH. I am not rolling the dice twice
Oh yea I drove from NYC to Ithaca once, cruise control and eco pro about the only time I use eco pro consistently
