The Sports diff also has adjustable dampers. The combination allows you to have an exceedingly comfortable daily drive that transforms into one of the finest examples of German engineered sports cars. These cars are crazy good when you need them to be.

I love the adjustable dampers too. I can select very firm for hard cornering fun, Auto for comfortable commuting, and soft for when my 71 year old mother wants to ride around town.

I would also agree that the Sport Package is well worth the premium you pay. I wanted the Adjustable dampers for the ability to tune the ride depending on who was in the car and considered the Sport diff a bonus but man is it impressive.

Another thing to note, I was completely indifferent to the Dynamic Steering and only took it because the dealer closest to me had it and matched the price of one down the street w?o so I figured why not.

All that being said, both will be optioned on all future vehicles.

I have Dynamic steering on mine and I could live without it. I eventually disabled it by setting it to dynamic because I never knew how much steering I was actually going to get when I turned the wheel

Default I just picked up the car

but the adjustable dampers and sport diff seem essential. I was looking for the adaptive suspension mainly as this is my daily but damn this thing is planted in the corners. Who in their right mind that can afford a car like this not check the S Sport package box when spec'ing this car?

Hey, I didn't check that box and mine is also planted in the corners. Personally, I don't like this bundling of options because you get stuck with stuff you don't want/need.
