Normal because that's how I drove it since I've owned it in May. I've tried Sport and it stiffens it up a bit, but I typically stick in normal. May give Sport another go after looking at the poll.

Normally do Sport mode but with the cold steak we've been having it seemed to stiffen up too much (guessing since I have summer tires on) and I have switched over to comfort mode. Usually I don't like comfort mode for the highway though as the steering wheel feels too touchy since its so light and I feel like I'm swerving in my lane constantly.

I used Sport mode for 6 months and switched to Normal. Sport mode is stiffer and a little more touchier. I find Normal mode more comfortable.

Normal only because every time I switch between Sport+ and Normal mode, it adjusts the steering accordingly and I'm too lazy to toggle that many different things all the time.

Sport for me. It is just nicer in the corners.

If I am not mistaken, the only difference between the steering modes are resistance to user input. Correct?

I ran mine in sport for probably 6 months then Matt on the smoking tire said he runs his in normal all the time so I switched over for the hell of it, and I prefer it now. I like to think of the three modes as go-kart, normal, and cadillac.

I put it in Sport mode on day one and haven't taken it out since.

I live very close to a mountainous National Park with very twisty, but smooth roads. I use sport mode for that drive, as I like to feel the feedback/resistance on the turns. Other than that, I use normal...:D

Sport almost always. Much more responsive and tighter. I notice a huge difference in the rain. Other modes feel very disconnected from the wheels in the rain, sport feels safest.

If I'm just putt-putting around or in traffic I'll switch it to Comfort occasionally.

If I am not mistaken, the only difference between the steering modes are resistance to user input. Correct?
I believe sensitivity/response is also changed. Small changes in Sport mode make big changes, whereas in Comfort mode you can turn the wheel more before something starts to happen. I believe the manual says it also changes the amount of "road feel" you get through the wheel.
