Default Drive Select - What's your individual setting?

Thought this might be a fun thread.

Those of you with Drive Select, what's your "Individual Setting" on?

2015 - S3

Engine/Transmission - Auto
Damper Control - Auto
Steering - Dynamic
Engine Sound - Dynamic

Just have to pop the gear shift back 1 tap from D to S to get full deal!

Same setup i have. I really don't feel a huge difference in the suspension from comfort to dynamic.

I have an S3 with magnetic ride. There is a significant difference between comfort and dynamic. Do you have magnetic ride suspension?

My individual settings are all "dynamic" except engine/transmission which is "auto".

100% positive i have it. maybe its slightly bouncier? maybe I was just used to driving an SUV before this. I might have to try the trans in auto mode.

All dynamic except for magnetic suspension which I keep in comfort most of the time. Damn New England roads still have potholes from two winters ago.

I actually like dynamic better. It's a bit harder but it feels more solid than comfort which make some thumps and bumps and rattles in my opinion.

I don't believe there is much of a difference between the two suspensions settings.

I've never tried AUTO. What does it do?

Do you have 19 or 18 inch wheels?

I have the magnetic suspension and notice a difference between dynamic and comfort. But can't say it's a huge difference except during cornering. Magnetic ride comes with the 19 inch wheels standard so unless you put something different on the car, mag ride = 19 inchers.

Well, I know you're probably not asking us A3ers, but I do Dynamic steering, and comfort engine/transmission (helps smooth out the APR chipped when riding with the wife).

Haven't used Individual much, but i set mine to:
Engine/Transmission - Auto
Steering - Dynamic
Engine Sound - Dynamic

I've settled on keeping Drive Select in Dynamic for routine driving and Auto for the highway.
