I know this have been covered before but I'm getting more shocked at my behaviour when I drive the car in normal, D mode with no eco........ I literally turn into a monster!!!!
I normally drive my car in eco mode with B, and I love pootling about, driving carefully and taking great pride and care in my leaf. I stop getting angry with other motorists, I don't care if someone wants to cut me up as I am more aware and feel I'd rather keep my little car and self safe.
I didn't dare drive without Eco as felt it was too fast getting to know my new car.
BUT......
Since wanting to drive without eco to test my range with my cell issues, my god once I turn Eco off Im a different man! I love the speed, the pull away, the fact you can accelerate hard anywhere and the car just moves, it grips the road like glue with its low centre of gravity ughghg, I can feel the thrill just writing about non eco driving!!!! Oh and the noise!!!! I absolutely LOVE hearing that futuristic high whine sound of my car as it accelerates!
I thought to myself "this is madness", just control your foot, and drive the car without eco in the same way you would if you had ego activated, and I'm ashamed to say I just cannot. I have excellent fine motor control, it just comes down to the fact I love that full torque!!!!!!!
Ok, I'm shaking and slightly sweaty now just thinking about it, and know I need to just stop pressing the button, cold turkey, stay in eco.
Detox time me thinks.
