The other programmable option on this screen that you can adjust is if the seat bolsters tighten when in Sport mode. |

Actually the tech in my f10 that is the first year of its kind is stunningly similar to the f30 LCI. I do like the rocker switch to change modes. I can find it and use it haptically without looking, something I can't say for the buttons that Porsche has strewn around and below the sightline. |

Also now you have me thinking so i looked through my 2013 535 and 2015 550 window stickers ... the 535 had the Dynamic damper control so it didn't have comfort plus but the 550 had the Dynamic handling package (3 1/2 times the price) and it did have comfort plus. I only have the Dynamic damper control on the 540 so maybe if I went with the whole Dynamic suspension thing it might have Comfort plus |

What I was trying to say was that in the olden days (2011 f10 dynamic handling package) today's 'comfort' was called 'normal' and there was an even softer setting called 'comfort'. I think they've just renamed it 'comfort plus'. Funny, I just watched the latest Grand Tour episode where they showed a b5 alpina with 'comfort plus', which must be from the current 5-series.

Holy crapballs I hate all of that dynamic chassis bullshit. Give me one setting. Make it the right one. Done.
I've got adjustable suspension on the Golf R. Only one setting feels like it should be on a Golf R; the rest are too floaty. The sportiest setting is...stiff, but not too stiff. In other words, it feels right. The only utility in the multi-adjustable setting is that I can turn the sport exhaust setting down so the car is not as loud. It is not clear to me whether this just affects the fake engine noise inside or whether it also makes the car louder outside. Either way the difference is subtle and I don't really need that setting. I've felt that way about these things dating back to the Probe GT from 1989, which had...3 modes? Put it in sport. If you don't want the car to be in sport, why did you buy the GT? |
