Default New S6 owner-question

My new S6 just celebrated its 7th day. I think she likes it here a lot, as she purrs every time I stroke her V8. Okay, I digress.
Question: I have the Sports Pkg and in the Dynamic Mode (suspension), does the car lower itself and stay in that position as long as it's in the Dynamic mode (sit lower than in AUTO and/or Comfort)? I looked in the owner's manual but I couldn't find it or I'm not looking hard enough....probably the latter!

Yes, in dynamic mode the car lowers itself and stays there. I don't think any single person at Audi would know how dynamic, auto and comfort work for each setting.

I ment to reply to this a While back "luv2sleep":


Even though I have a lot of grips about the MY 16 S6 Owners manual, it does have a nice grid in it as to what exactly the car does as you switch between the ADS options. (Page 95)

The manual really doesn't say much. Knowing what exactly the differences are would be nice. Obviously the comfort mode is more relaxed and the dynamic is more harsh for everything.

There is a noticeable difference in ride quality but I find that dynamic mode isn't too harsh. Roads where I live are pretty decent so that helps. I like the lower look also.

Yea, it would be nice to know exactly now what the definitions are of "comfortable, balanced, and sporty" are, and to what those definitions do to what aspect of each drive dynamic, no pun.
