That can be done but in Sport mode, the "mild hybrid" motor doesn't kick in. In adaptive, when you go into crawl mode, the motor kicks in and after 2 tanks of gas, I noticed it does actually save some gas. I thought it was gimmicky in the beginning, but now I do think it helps mileage to a certain degree.

LOL. Can't disagree with that. I gotta wonder if things will get better with the LCI.

I've same issue with s/s button. It have to be pressed very hardly to make it work. Dealer already ordered parts, waiting for their call.

Rublezz, I guess this issue is more common than we thought.

Mine was replaced yesterday, to include the center light console which was creaking. My suggestion is to check your car before leaving the dealership as they did they ripped the leather on my center armrest.
