I suspect that many owners don't need the 4C either as once a setting has been selected, the driver usually forgets to change it for months!

I suppose you're right, what's the first thing people do when there's mode selections of Eco, Normal or Sport . . . select Sport and never change it!
I wonder if the Cross Country came with 4C as standard as they have hill descent control + off-road/AWD capability? I'm positive the D6 Hybrid comes with it as standard.
