So....When it's go time!!!

What settings do you all use. With so many combinations to pick from I feel overwhelmed.....lol. In the V it was pretty easy to switch over to do some competitive driving. On a side note with he suspension on sport plus I nearly ejected myself out of the sunroof crossing over some train tracks this morning!

Normal driving i just leave it at the default settings.
I program the M1 & M2 buttons on the steering wheel with different settings.
I'd play around with the settings and find what your comfortable with.

My settings I think this is right.:
M1: Transmission - D3, steering - comfort, suspension - comfort , acceleration - sport plus, MDM
M2: Transmission - S3, steering - comfort, suspension - sport plus, acceleration - sport plus, MDM

Knocking steering from Sport+ to Sport is nice for cornering. Sport+ is good for max speed highway runs.

Thanks guys, once this rain clears out I will go out and test some of these settings! I guess I just need some ample seat time to figure out what I like.

Ditto on these settings. It's very hard to drive this car on efficient mode.
