:driving: Plodding through town it stays on 'normal', all other times it's always sport plus. How do you drive yours?
 
Normal 99%

Because sport and sport plus make the adaptive suspension bloody solid. Fun to go plus now and then. Last time I used it I spun it 180 at traffic lights. Oops.
 
I don't think there are suspension changes on the 3.0i? Only throttle and steering feel on sport and the same on sport plus but with traction turned off, love a bit of wheel slip but very cautious in the wet.
 
Always 'Sport' with the bloody annoying auto Start/Stop button OFF :evil:

That would be a good enough reason to upgrade all on it's own :D

Think I must be a bit of an old man,looking but 80% in normal mode, gear changes are too fast and throttle response is to sharp for smooth town driving in Sport.

Out on the open road for a hoon then in to Sport plus, gear lever to the left and then in to manual mode. In the wet I'll generally stick to Sport mode only, easy to get he back end out with a stab of throttle in poor conditions!
 
A mixture depending on traffic volume, evening hoons pretty much sport + all the time, I really like the adaptive, sometimes it's in normal for the whole drive, normally after a physically hard working week. It's nice to have the choice, I wouldn't want to not have adaptive.
 
`Normal to keep revs down while the oil is warming up. Normal on choppy washboardy roads to save wear and tear. Sport when I need to hear the pressure relief valve pop at 4500 rpm. Sport+ when I don't want to be paused as I pull out on the highway. Sport for spirited foolishness when I do need some sensible DSC modulation. Sport and + when I think the traffic is so heavy that higher revs will help reduce engine deposits.
From some of the other posts I gather that there are different maps for different models and maybe different countries.
 
Normal, ("Comfort"), 95% of the time.....
Sport, 5% of the time....usually at the track or when the wife is not on board....
Sport+, never. It cost me new rear tires the one time I tried it on a skid pad, and It scares me half to death....

Not got adaptive suspension but sport almost all the time and never sport + as if I stuck it into a field I would never hear the end of it.
Its funny hearing that a lot of people run sport + with DSC off as I have read a lot of comments slagging people off for crashing while DSC was off. Like the guy who bought the M4 and crashed just after picking it up.
 
I only tried Sport+ a couple of times & the last as i exited a bend with a touch of acclerator & my back end swung round sideways onto the opposite side of the road :cry: not good for amateurs or normal roads imo :( mine was only 200bhp , i can well imagine adding another 100/140bhp the game of chance gets even greater :o
 
Normal most of the time.

Altho, the other half suddenly said to me the other day...how do you make it sound like that....after I pressed Sport :) it never sounds like that when I drive.....
