UPDATE -- While trying to add more options I found out it ERASED prior results. PLEASE RE-VOTE !!!
READ THIS NOTE BEFORE YOU VOTE:
Choose the option that fits MOST of your driving. For example, 90% or more of my driving is around town, on city streets, in ECO mode. Once in a while I may go a few freeway exists and in DRIVE mode. But since 90% of my driving is CITY/ECO, that is the option I chose. Please pick the option that describes the MAJORITY of your driving! (so if you do mixed driving but most of the time in ECO mode, choose "mixed - mostly in eco" for your option!
----(my original post below)----
We've had our Leaf for a few weeks now and my wife/I drive 99% of the time in ECO mode. Most of our driving is non-freeway too, but on the rare occasion we've hit the expressway we've found standard DRIVE mode works better. Which got me wondering -- who uses which and why? I've broken the choices down to also include driving style ... because heck, I'm curious.
For me, I sort of wish ECO mode was default and DRIVE was the 2nd option, since I use ECO more. Do you guys wish we could choose, or that switching between modes was somehow easier? (as I think it may be in 2013 models)
Talk amongst yourselves...
