Default Driving Modes

Just curious as to how many of you believe you can feel the differences when switching from one mode to the other. What is it that you feel the car doing.

I swear that to me they all feel the same? Great!

Besides for the sound of the exhaust as well as the shifting points not much else has been that obvious so far. My car is a Z51 without magnetic ride control...

I can feel a huge difference, not only in the exhaust sound, but also the steering and suspension feel as well, I have a Z51 with mag ride, best of both worlds and mag ride is must have for the Z51

Non Z51 with A6. I can feel a big difference in steering and automatic shift points betweeen Tour, Sport, and Track. Track especially is night and day difference in full or near full throttle automatic shifts.

The Steering Tightens up quite a bit, the shift points really change, and the Suspension really changes. Almost Jekyll Hyde. I have a z51 with the magnetic shocks. The sound of the exhaust is also quite apparent.

I fix the steering in sport but changed it to track on Friday when I took it to the track. Increased effort I liked it. I can definitely tell the differences.

Big difference from touring to sport to track. Steering and suspension, as well as sound. (Z51 Coupe with mag ride).
One thing is for sure.......I don't won't to drive down the highway in track unless it's super smooth.

My comment was just about fixing the steering in sport or track and not linked to driving modes. I like touring on most cruising modes. Btw I got 29-30 mph going 90 miles to a track where I got 9 mph in track mode sport1.
