Excellent, I love mine, red circuit pack, best car I've ever owned.

I just love seeing how this car makes experienced drivers smile. I've never owned a three-digit-power, one-digit-old car but am expecting GRY to arrive in the summer. Will probably be amazed and shocked after driving a 2005 1.3 Colt LPG. Thank you for enjoyable video, me alone gave you like 10 views by now lol

Hi there. I favour track mode too in mine but I bought it for road use only and year round grip, keeping esc on, rather than the favoured by many, especially on a track, of sport mode and esc disabled for some slip with grip and sliding the rear.
Not sure if you get the luxury pack version over there. In the uk it's the Convenience pack.
That's the version I chose. It enables it to be a comfortable daily, as long as space isn't a priority.
The suspension is still firm but significantly less, perhaps 20-30% and with more roll. Not an issue on the roads but you'd probably want the circuit pack if tracking regularly or it's a second car and you want the most race oriented and care little for extra comforts.
The torsen lsd's front and rear on the performance/circuit pack are mainly felt when esc is disabled.
My 3 test drives in the circuit pack before placing my order for the Convenience pack in uk, and a fourth later on, back to back with mine and a circuit pack and I never felt the circuit's torsens. Esc always on.
I had the circuit pack again this week for about 5 hours whilst mine was having its first service and I managed to get the torsen to activate whilst turning left very sharply on full throttle on partially damp roads. Esc was on.
Repeating the same sharp left turn, same location numerous times with different levels of turn angle, it kicked in about 3 times out of 5, only when really exaggerating the turns.
It was a strong pull both in dynamics and at the steering wheel, possibly similar to a mazda 3 mps and focus RS MK2 I test drove years ago.
Imo, arguably a little too much/artificial compared to the e-diff I had on my previous i30N performance pack. That felt less harsh, a slingshot sensation, very pleasurable and needed on fwd but it didn't yank the steering in the same way.
Personally I prefer the more natural feel of the standard car's open diff's set up with just the brilliant awd system! What many circuit pack drivers will feel much of the time, especially on the road, until at around 8 tenths and/or esc disabled.
Standard steering is less heavy and more relaxing on longer journeys.
In the luxury pack you gain the better ride for road usage, still absolutely amazing amounts of grip in all weathers, plus parking sensors front and rear, blind spot monitors, HUD and uv windscreen, better JBL stereo and (8) speakers, built in sat nav without an annoying cable attachment to your phone, rear cross traffic alert and emergency braking, and Ambient lighting by inner door handles.
Or there's the standard set up, like mine dynamically, but without the extra toys.
The only immediate change for mine was changing the standard set up stock dunlops for brilliant f1 asymmetric 5's.
No right or wrong spec, just the correct for the user.
If available, try to drive a standard open diff's car, if possible with the luxury pack, to compare.
You might just want that version as your next daily 😉
Happy festive season 👍
