Let the more tech savvy guys weigh in here, but my thoughts are these cars are performance cars and putting it in Dynamic won't wear down components to any significant degree, as long as the car is properly warmed up.

Correct. Cars have that drive modes to be enjoyed and are designed that way. Don't work about driving in Sport or Dynamic. Just enjoy.

I have about 30 minutes mixed Hwy and traffic lights commute to work, most just a hair in front of rush hour.
Tried the comfort once or twice, didn't like it at all, too soft and just hate that wobbling feel on Hwy.
Auto is OK but the Dynamic is my favorite. And I like to play with shifters.

I drive in Dynamic mode and change to sport mode all the time. I find the sport mode is much more responsive and makes for a more fun car to drive as it keeps the revs up a bit and is quicker to downshift.

I drove all day in dynamic without S mode. It was fun. Steering wheel is stiffer and I feel it shifts quicker. Looking forward to playing around with it more. Very hard not to go over the speed limit in S mode SO quick!

I have a longer mixed commute and I'm also in dynamic all the time and shift to S when I want a little more fun. I only tried Comfort mode the other day and maybe once or twice before, but agree totally - way too soft and cushy on the highway - almost like I lost some control over my car.

usually have the shifter in 'Sport' too.
I have a Premium Plus with sports package, but the only items available for me to configure are engine/trans and steering.

Does anyone know if there is a coding to enable suspension?

Pretty sure the car has to have the Comfort Adaptive Suspension option as well.

Exactly. Sport suspension isn't adaptive. Only CAS is.
