Just want to know what's your individual settings if that's your drive mode. My wife puts everything in comfort.
Any good advise for better performance?

The G Man

Transmission on auto, steering sport, suspension comfort, exhaust comfort.

Throttle/transmission - dynamic (even though that doesn't do anything when you restart the car)
Steering - dynamic
Suspension - comfort
Sports Differential - dynamic

Everything else - auto

Would this make engine / exhaust louder? Hope not...

Good question. I am not 100% sure.

But I do feel it to be a little louder in S mode and dynamic vs S mode and Comfort. I'm willing to admit that this could be 100% placebo.

The G Man

The engine sounds louder in S mode because it is reving higher, there is also a setting for exhaust note.

For instance with my 18" wheels and Sottozero 3s I run the suspension in Dynamic; in summer on the Hankook S1s and 19" wheels I used Auto - but might try Comfort next summer. I have Dynamic Steering, but hate variable ratio, so I leave steering in Dynamic. I like to leave the engine in Auto because that gives me more contrast between D and S (which moves the engine to Dynamic).

The G Man

Have anyone notice any different between sport diff. in comfort or dynamics? Or am I not pushing the car around the corner fast enough to notice the difference.

Apparently Comfort is optimized for load reversal. I guess it might be worth a try switching to it in some heavy snow, especially with ESC off.

The G Man

That would make sense, comfort will distribute the torque to rear wheels more evenly during turns. On dry road, I did not feel much of a difference between the settings. In my Jaguar, I can feel the outside wheel pushing me thru the turn. My S5, however, do not have as much understeer as my A6, maybe that is the sport differential doing what its suppose to.
