Q5 - What drive mode do you use.
Today I decided to use Dynamic mode. I really like it and may use it solely for city driving from now on. What driving mode do you folk like the best? I think Audi set the normal mode so they could advertise a good MPG number. It is certainly not the best mode to drive in, or is it?

^^^ A little more fuel consumption, yes.
I’ve driven in Dynamic/Sport all the time since day 1 and I’ve averaged about 24.5 mpg. However, I live in a very mountainous area and most of my miles are NOT highway miles.

I felt like driving an old Toyota when I shifted to the "Drive" mode.
However when I was driving on the highway, I was using the dynamic drive mode.
I don't know whether I should choose full time sport mode during summer and Drive mode during winter.

For everyday use, I am the same with my few-week old SQ5. I find Auto to work exceptionally well. Comfort is simply too sluggish for me, and I don’t really need Dynamic all of the time. Auto is nicely responsive for me, while keeping things balanced. I have a good Individual setup that I like, though I am still experimenting a bit. But generally speaking, Auto, with shifting into S when I need or want some extra pep, is working great for me.

In city traffic, I use comfort mode. No need to waste gas as I'm not moving. I also use my adaptive cruise control all the time. When the roads are clear, on the highway, I'm in dynamic mode.
