I just wondered how many people leave the car in sport mode. I tend to leave mine in auto. I prefer the lighter steering than when in sport.

Most of the time I leave mine in auto mode also.

For me Sport Mode (most of the time)
I have to caveat that because my/our other cars are an Barchetta and Strada Abarth 130TC. These are not slouches and throttle pedal response near on "let me go, go, go".
The 500X in Auto Mode will GO but in comparison to our other cars the pedal depression required is just way way too much travel required.
I drove my 500X in Auto Mode continuously for a couple of months and got used to it and was not disappointed. However every time I drove the other cars (during this period) I was finding I was launching to the moon.
Yes you can get plugin boxes to remap pedal response but this is what Fiat did with the Mood knob by design. They just got the mapping a little wrong IMHO.

Auto mode for the wife and me occasionally, sport mode rest of the time as auto drives me nuts as the pick up is slow

In sport I don't like feel of the steering.
Sport okay in bursts but auto for the more relaxed drive.never I such a hurry these days anyway now . Do agree a little slow off the mark. Other cars an outlander phev which is100% torque as soon as the loud pedal is pressed. But Fiat is about fun....
