I always drive in track. Want the car to react the same every time so I don't have to remember what setting I was in, and don't like to fiddle with settings.
The only toggle I use is esp on (motorway), expert (b-roads) and all off (back road blast on full concentration).
 
Almost always sport, I forgot one day departing a services and found understeer on the first roundabout in normal (wet conditions just above freezing).

Would love if track could be changed to 40:60 - for me it feels too Front biased when gotten used of Driving with Sport.
Is it due to f/r weight distribution which then makes it (50:50 split) front grippy...?

Is the weight distribution of the car 60:40?
 
I have a feeling mines will be a bit closer to 70/30 by the time I get in mine.
 
Normal for normal driving, I like the plainer dash and the stop start, and the fact I’ve not pressed or moved any dial, I just get in and drive (don’t drive with iMT on and im half calibrated to the lane nudge) and it helps me reign myself in, I kinda program myself to the dial, helps me not drive too quickly, also I display MPG in this mode

When I want to enjoy corners or launch, sport mode. I also change to the boost screen in this mode, as I don’t want to look at MPG

Only use track if I’m doing a handbrake turn, I find it gives more confidence when your powering out of it. (Aware that some haven’t tried the delight of the handbrake yet) < another poll perhaps đŸ˜…đŸ˜‚

Why don't you use iMT? I think it's excellent.

Neither do I. For me, old fashioned, the very reason to buy this car was to further hone my (awd) driving skills - in a time where the vast majority of car models leave you no choice in having automated systems do some part of the driving for you.

Edit: need a Driving topic section

same...heel and toe on every down shift even in heavy traffic just years of habit
 
Even double clutching all the time here foremost, sometimes let the clutch up slowly without revmatch as it is good for the clutch friction surfaces at low revs in normal driving. Oh well.

for sure as scatters dust build up over time
 
Rarely use normal, track in the wet/cold/damp/greasy weather, sport otherwise.

This. Muscle memory.
 
Depends on the conditions and what I'm doing, but usually 60:40, and increasingly 50:50 as it is great in this weather.
Don't use 30:70/sport that much.
