How Often Do You Change Drive Modes in Your Car?
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Almost every modern car has multiple drive modes. Specialized cars get granular; a Toyota 4Runner has multiple off-road traction modes, while a super sports car like a McLaren has specific engine and handling modes. Even your daily driver probably has an 'eco' and 'sport' button. My question is—are you guys using them? In my current fleet of nine vehicles, counting ranch rigs, only one has drive modes—my 2017 BMW 330 wagon. It starts in Comfort by default, then can be toggled to EcoPro, Sport, or Sport+ with a rocker switch on the center console. I don't use them all on every single drive, but I do use them quite often. The M5 Touring's range of modes is a little bigger than the 330's, but I still think the older car is prettier. Andrew P. Collins Andrew P. Collins For example, if I'm driving from my place in the Hudson Valley to my in-laws' in the Adirondacks, I'll leave it in Comfort on secondary roads, drop it into EcoPro for the highway haul up north, and then run it in Sport when we get to the twisty roads up in the hills. It's not like the car's entire personality changes; the ECU is simply slightly altering the way it reacts to inputs. But I genuinely appreciate being able to optimize the vehicle's responsiveness for conditions like the scenario I just outlined. On the highway, I like being able to coast at low rpm to save fuel. In the mountains, the higher shift points and more aggressive throttle are beneficial. I love BMW's EcoPro setting from the 2010s era. It drops engine revs to idle speed whenever you're coasting, but without taking the car out of drive. As a result, you can glide down hills at 70 mph and like 750 rpm, spiking your mpgs and dropping your water temp nicely. I never bother with Sport+, which, on my car, just relaxes stability control a little bit in addition to sharpening throttle response and setting more aggressive shift points (I don't have adjustable suspension or anything). I almost always have my dog, wife, and some cargo in the hold when I'm driving my wagon, so extra wheelspin is … let's say 'unpopular.' How about you? Do you make use of your car's drive modes? And if so, where and when? Got a tip? Drop us a line at tips@

Unidentified flying object crashes overnight in Poland: "It exploded so loudly"
An unidentified flying object crashed into a cornfield and exploded in eastern Poland early Wednesday, the country's news agency PAP reported. Local police said they received reports of the crash around 2 a.m. and found burned metal and plastic debris at the scene, near the village of Osiny. As a result of the explosion, windows were broken in some houses but nobody was injured, PAP reported. Poland's Armed Forces Operational Command said Wednesday on social media that no violations of Polish airspace from neighboring Ukraine or Belarus were recorded overnight. Officials initially said the explosion may have been caused by a part of an old engine with a propeller. Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz later said the object was most likely a drone, adding that an analysis was underway to determine whether it was a military or smuggling one, PAP reported. "I was sitting in my room at night, around midnight, maybe, and I heard something just bang," local resident Pawel Sudowski told local news website "It exploded so loudly that the whole house simply shook." Lublin District Prosecutor Grzegorz Trusiewicz told reporters several investigators — both civilian and military — were examining the crash site. "We have a lot of manpower, we have the army to help us. I hope that we will be able to finish the operation by the evening," Trusiewicz said. Since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago, there have been a number of intrusions into Polish airspace, raising alarm in the European Union and NATO member state and reminding people how close the war is. In 2023, a Russian missile went through Polish airspace near the Ukrainian border during one of Russia's barrages. In 2022, a Ukrainian air defence missile fell on the Polish village of Przewodow, near the border, killing two people. Earlier this year, unidentified crashed objects were found on the ground in two locations in Poland. Authorities said it was possible those objects came from a SpaceX rocket after debris entered the atmosphere over Poland.

Hertz stock jumps on deal to sell its used cars on Amazon
Rental car firm Hertz (HTZ) struck a deal with Amazon Autos (AMZN) on Wednesday to sell some of its used car inventory, which the company says will make it easier for customers to purchase cars from its fleet. Starting today, customers can search Amazon Autos to browse, finance, and purchase from thousands of used Hertz fleet vehicles from brands like Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, Nissan, and others. Hertz Car Sales, the rental car firm's used car sales arm, will be Amazon Autos' first fleet dealer. Hertz shares jumped 9% in premarket trade. "Our goal is to reimagine the car-buying experience and meet customers where they are — whether online or in person — with convenience, confidence and scale," said Jeff Adams, Hertz Car Sales EVP in a statement. "Amazon Autos is the ideal partner to help us deliver on this as customers can shop our expansive inventory of high-quality used cars on the same trusted marketplace where millions shop every day."

After customers complete their purchase online, they can pick up the vehicles at Hertz locations in those cities. "This collaboration allows us to offer an expanded selection of well-maintained vehicles from more dealerships across the country, while maintaining the simplicity that customers expect from Amazon,' said Fan Jin, Global Head of Amazon Autos in a statement. Hertz will offer a 115-point inspection process,and 12-month/12,000 mile powertrain warranty. Hertz is also adding 7-day/250-mile buy back guarantee and 24-hour roadside assistance. For Amazon, adding Hertz vehicles is another big move for its auto sales business. Late in 2024 Amazon struck a deal with Hyundai (HYMTF) to sell new vehicles in cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, among others offering Amazon users the ability to buy and finance vehicles from local participating dealers directly on Amazon's website or app. As for Hertz, the company is coming off something of a PR hit after its newly implemented AI scanning tool for returned vehicles dinged renters with high fees, sometimes thousands of dollars, for damage that renters claim they did not do.
