Turbo Owners: Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus?

For you TURBO Owners:

When do you use each of the three driving modes?

I just picked up my new Black Turbo and would like your feedback.

Thanks, JohnnyB

i had one last weekend for 3 days - sport plus in auto mode ended up being as much or more fun than sport plus manual.

i found even if i was not on sport plus, i had the pasm on the hardest setting anyway and it flattened the car but was no too rough

I drive it in Sport Mode with Sport Plus PASM Mode all the time. I rarely drive it in Sport Plus because it holds the gears way too long for casual everyday driving.

sport plus is my default mode ( I wish, I didnt have to push the button everytime) and I use the manual shifting. Only if I have other people in the car and I think they want a smoother ride do I go to comfort.

Very interesting mix!!

I am amazed at all the PASM Sport Plus lovers!! The car is quite low on the TURBO's.


I am lazy and just stay in Comfort for Highway driving. In the mountain twisties, shift to Sport PLus, WOW.

PASM Sport Plus all the time; sport mode in auto or sport plus in manual. Normal mode only cruising on the highway to get to 7th gear.

I have an S not a turbo (yet). I generally stay in Sport. When I get to highway cruising, I go to comfort. If I intend to get into some twisty roads, I go plus. Yeah, I wish it would stay in the position it was left in upon start up.

I always have the suspension in Sport Plus. It just looks too tall in comfort or Sport mode.
I also tend to use Sport Plus with Manual quite a bit now that I have the TechArt paddle shifters installed.
