What drive modes do you use the most? And is it different between models? POLL

And why buy a Mustang if you’re going to drive it in whisper mode?

If you floor it you get full power, no matter which drive mode

But the rest of the time it drives like a Toyota.

The 1 pd mode makes driving a unique and pleasurable experience. After 2 weeks of driving in 1 pedal mode my brain has incorporated the process and it feels autonomic now. If one drives a vehicle hard then 1 pd is not an asset but rather an impediment. I have taken the "Car Guys" advise and drive my vehicle gently. I enjoy owning and driving my Ford Mustang Mach e.

Unbridled 1pd - I prefer the steering wheel feeling with unbridled, and 1pd feels more natural now. The only exception - getting in and out of the garage, for that I'm more comfortable controlling the speed with the brake pedal in whisper mode. It is also set as the default and guest setting, in case my wife needs to drive it.

Went to Toronto Saturday afternoon on the 401/427/Gardiner Expy and Don Valley in my F150 Eco Boost. Three lanes of idiots cutting in and out for one car length when nobody was going anywhere. Have to say I was wishing I had one pedal, got very tired going gas to brake. Must try unbridled as wife and I use engaged one pedal, Love It. 3200Km on the clock.

I blame automatic transmissions for people not immediately adopting 1PD. I also blame automatics for traffic jams, distracted driving, and the demise of Western civilization.

Whisper + L gear 100% of the time (Premium FE).

I don't care for 1PD. Still prefer 2PD driving, but like a fair degree of regen slowing control built in to the pedal. At first I got that with Engaged, but
I also like easier steering, and wider play in the accelerator pedal for more finesse, which only Whisper offers. Thus I find the combination of W + L perfect for my tastes.

I do wich they would just give us the ability to control all those independently though (steering wheel weight, accelerator pedal play, regen level).

I also keep the fake sound off. Quiet is good. I want mine to drive as much like a luxury car as possible.

That's the #1 reason I don't like 1PD -- getting in/out of garages and parking spots. Those short little finesse movements are trickier without creep and a foot on the brake pedal. It was harder to inch forward just a little bit more in the garage (or a parking lot space), especially from a full stop.

It's also counterintuitive. In a split-second moment of panic when you're inches from hitting the wall, the natural inclination is to press down in the pedal, not let up. I know people eventually get used to that, but I didn't really want to after 45 years of driving that way. Plus I have an ICE car too that I sometimes still drive.

I'm very happy with Whisper + L gear in 2PD drive. Love it.

See? Automatic transmissions strike again!

Had to drive our ICE yesterday, and it is, by any reasonable definition, a very nice ICE. Hated it. Just so laggy and slow and noisy and ugh. Also, an automatic transmission.

I had a select used to drive it in Unbridled 1 pedal all the time. I traded it and got a GT (non-performance) and I almost think I like Engage 1 pedal better now. Just wondering what everyone uses.

I always drive in Engage Mode ... without 1 pedal... feels more like a normal car... 2022 MME GT PE .... my girlfriend drives it in Whisper 1 pedal mode.

I would like to drive my GTP in MY mode:

• Suspension = Whisper
• Steering = Engage
• Throttle Response = Unbridled

Give it some time, and you'll get the hang of it for harder driving, too. It's tough to move your braking points closer to the turns, but you have to account for the mechanical lag of moving from gas to brake in your ICE by "braking" later. I catch myself fading the pedal too soon and entering a turn at my apex speed sometimes, which is way too slow. The good news is, it's more than made up for by being able to nail it coming out of the turn and be at exit speed just as soon as you point even a little bit straight. The fine control you can get by not having to switch pedals back and forth is fantastic.

I agree. Twice. Does limit your ability to use valet parking, though.
