Do you use the City Button

I haven't got a "City" button

When I did I never used it...
 
I hit the "City" button all the time! :eek:

But in my Bravo the City button has been replaced by the "Sport" button and its just too addictive!!
 
in the stilo i had it on all the time- it cuts out after about 30mph (but still displays city on the dash). made the car easier at slow speeds and i didnt have to keep pressing the button to turn it on and off.

i now have a bravo 150 tjet sport, its manly car- city button is taken out, and replaced with a SPORT button that overboosts the turbo.

he he he

CITY has a lesser-known secondary function in the Punto and Stilo (if not the others); it re-maps the accelerator pedal response to reduce the throttle openings that you get, theoretically making city progress smoother.

comprehensively tested this tonight, and noticed sod all difference. It was still very jerky pulling away in 1st, and playing with the throttle openings whilst stationary there was no difference at all either. There is definitely no such thing on my mk2a Sporting.

maybe its different in your car, or maybe its your imagination? ;)

some people prefer a bit of weight to the steering, it allows for more "feel" (even though the electric column effectively makes all "feel" completely artificial):)
I hate driving with light steering, some cars such as the 406 have steering as light as the city button all the time :yuck::yuck::yuck:

yeah... light steering FTL
 
i drive my GF's mk2 punto sporting all the time but i never use the city steering mode ever. its far too light and the standard mode is easy enough to turn even in carparks. i guess small girls may need it, but i think it was added more as a unique selling point rather than a useful feature. its a pointless gadget, and tbh i like pointless gadgets even the ones i never use. i would much prefer the city button to do the opposite and almost remove all assistance, that would be great!
