I really wish Audi would give us 3 engine/transmission modes. Eco, Normal and Dynamic. Eco would offer start/stop and shift around 2200-2400, normal would shift around 3200-3400 and Sport would shift around 4000.

I end up using manual shifting 80+% of the time since Comfort is way to conservative and Dynamic is at the other extreme.

I use them all pretty equally, depends mostly on if my girl is riding shotgun or not. Lol. I really do agree with most there is something left to be desired in reference to the "gap" between COMFORT and DYNAMIC modes. To be honest I'm not too happy with drive select. The AUTO setting is a joke, it doesn't automatically do anything, it just puts everything in the middle. It might as well be called "MID." The DYNAMIC mode is awesome but clearly not for daily driving, I wish it was called "TRACK" instead. The DYNAMIC mode makes the magnetic ride way too harsh! So it's COMFORT mode for me most of the time.

Let me ask you guys this, which mode is best for the longevity of the car. keeping it in Dynamic all the time seems harsh on the car.

I would think comfort as you can really see the RPM drop while cruising in the lower gears.

In the summertime, I keep it in Dynamic. Now that winter is here and the roads are getting bad, I switch over to Individual and set the Suspension to Comfort.

In bad weather like snow and ice I either use dynamic or manual to use a lot of engine braking for more control

For day to day driving dynamic is a bit fierce for me, I?m more individual mode and then eco when I know I?m in the town centre in traffic

Although when the mood is right dynamic manual mode is far by the best

I use the 'individual' setting with steering and exhaust set to dynamic with all others on auto, that being said I spend a lot of the time in manual mode cuz dynamic is too aggressive of a ride/feel for me.

Had mine a week, dynamic is now renamed dynamite and I feel bad using it as I feel my engine may pop at any moment. Lol. So I try and stick to comfort/auto
