only 650 miles on my engine and it's on Normal since day 1, I'm sure I'll like sport mode the best but I don't want to leave the engine high RPM during breakin period.

I'm sure one 1K i'lll leave it on spotRT!

I came out of a 2012 TL so you would think I would say Sport but I really like the Comfort mode. Just nice easy driving!

Definitely sport. However, I do noticed about a 4 MPG decrease with the sport mode in mostly city driving.

In my very limited test drives of the new MDX, sport is best at replicating the feel of the Gen2. Ironically enough, that what I like the best about our '08 Tech is the weightier steering feel but what my wife dislikes.

I understand everyone is going to EPS, but that is my biggest beef with my 6MT TL. The steering is just way too overboosted and vague, especially at highway speeds.

I prefer sport except on long interstate drives, then Comfort, until I have to exit or drive more aggressively.

Sport mode for me! The electronic dampers are in the sportiest setting in Sport or Sport+ mode. Occasionally use Sport+ mode at a stop because this mode disable Auto Stop/Start for a quicker get away when needed for the sport hybrid MDX. Never tired Comfort or Normal modes.

It's the Mrs. daily driver. She probably doesn't even know there are other options beyond normal. I only get to drive it maybe once a month to put gas in it.

I usually use Comfort mode in my 19 advance as it softens the suspension to make the ride smoother for casual everyday driving and road trips. If I may need to drive somewhat more aggressively then Normal, and occasionally if I really want to hammer on it then Sport (but that's rare). If it weren't for the softened suspension (meaning I had a MDX without active dampers) then I'd probably just stay in normal most of the time.

I prefer sport and have not noticed any mileage penalty over normal or comfort.

Sport Mode

I prefer Sport solely for the heavier steering feel, feels closest to my previous 2008 MDX.
