Which drive mode do you prefer to drive in?

[Gerardo]

I use Normal and Sport depending on how much fun I want to have driving. I also like the fake sound.

Seems like I need to try out Tow Mode, being the first off the green light, I'm sold.

I tried Eco for a few days, and it made me sad. No thanks. LOL

Just normal, occasionally i switch to sport. I had the dealer disable the fake sport mode sound. Lol

Tow/haul. When I had the Tundra it made it feel like a completely different vehicle. The wife’s new IS gives you the ability to turn off the fake engine noise.

I drive my Tundra in Tow+ until I get on the interstate or at 60mph+. It is awesome!

i use to do that, but the way people are now a days running yellow/red lights, i let someone else go first for the hit.

even then i still look both ways now to see if someone is going to run a light.

hell this morning this dumass in a f150 blew the red light by a good 1-2 secs after my light was green at 5am

i was lucky that i wasnt going 40 mph before the light turned green like it usually was for my direction.

i should clip the dashcam for it and post it

Damn. Thank you for sharing your experience. Gives me something to think about.

Here is the clip, it's 1\4 speed, so take that in mind in watching it in regards to speeds.

you can slow the clip down in the youtube player by .5 or .25, but you can clearly see him run the light after it was green for me for 2-3 secs after it turned green.

the saving grace was i was slowing down for the red light way before it turned green and was lazyily getting back up to speed when he blew by.

you need to change the share permission in the video to Public or upload it on Youtube. No one can see it.

Why I like this forum. I had no idea there was fake engine sounds (ESE) and active noise cancellation (ANC). I guess I don't pay enough attention. Now I'm going to have to check it out today.

AI helped me:

• ESE: adds an artificial engine sound through the cabin audio system.
• ANC: uses the speakers to counteract certain unwanted engine/drivetrain frequencies.
• The two systems can work together.

Same here. My city is notorious for people running red lights. Being the first out from the green light is asking for it. If I do need to get out first for some reason (if happens), then I make sure to look both ways in the countdown to go.

Normal mode for me. ECO requires too much throttle...sport mode drinks fuel and unless you turn it off...the fake engine noise is just awful.

Ok, so I’m in the Normal and occasional Sport mode group, but what’s annoying is that if I put it in Eco, it’ll still be in Eco the next time I drive the car but not the same with Sport! Anyone else getting that?? I’d like to leave it on Sport, but seems like you have to switch it each time you get going. As for the fake noise, I’m going to switch it off but I do like it, just wish it was being pumped outside too!!

Yep...i went through a short period, couple weeks, where I was running mine in ECO and really like that it stayed in that mode...but alas Toyota only did it for Eco and Normal...not sport.

Unbelievable, what an idiot! That driver needs to be reported, if light cams available. I could barely see him go through the intersection at normal speed.

Does the ESE sound like an old WRX to anyone, minus the blow off valves?
