What do you all have as your default Individual Set Up?

I can't seem to get my ideal set up. Would like the Sports Exhaust but without Dynamic engine which makes for very clunky down changes. Is the a way to programme this?

Am leaning towards Auto for suspension setting - comfort allows too much roll, Dynamic we all know about!

Steering I can't make up my mind.

Also a really dumb question and yes I should read the Manual more carefully but how do I make my Individual setting my default setting for every time I start up? Car reverts to Comfort Setting.

I have found a way to have the exhaust with the flaps open and still drive it in D or manual. In individual setting select your engine/gesrbox to dynamic. This will then put the gearbox in sport mode as you have found. However, then pull the gear lever down to S and this will change it back to D. You should find that the exhaust flaps remain open but it will drive in normal D mode without the higher rev up changes and the big blip down changes. You can also move the lever across to manual mode and drive the car that way which is a compromise between the two.

I think to select individual to work when you switch on is a case of pressing the drive select button once you have switch on and it should revert to individual.

My steering is in auto most of the time, I find comfort a bit too light for my liking. I then find if I'm pushing on then the steering will weight up if I'm in auto mode.

i have the Individual set on all dynamic but the steering on comfort this is for the wife as she found the dynamic steering to stiff. I personaly now use the manual mostly and D when in town but i'm always in dynamic mode, i know alot feel that it is a harsh ride in dynamic but no more that the B7 set up i might use comfort on the motorway though

i don't know why your car defalts to comfort as my car stays in what ever it wason when switched off

This is true re dynamic and bunging it back in to drive.

This is what my mrs does

I do occasionally too and it helps economy as it dumps it in high gears as soon as possible

Mine doesn't, I have to do it everytime and I can tell because as soon as I put it in individual again I can hear the exhaust note change

Sometimes the screen is slow for this screen to come up and others it is right there

Quick question regarding the car ride when is dynamic, is it as stiff a ride as the C63?

I ask this as I used to own a C63 and found the ride where I live very comfortable as we are very fortunate to have no pot holes at all.

Never driven in that mode other than to show somebody how bad it is!!!!

Funny a lot are stating how hard the ride is in Dynamic mode I must be desensitized with my previous RS4's as the ride for me and also my wife is no firmer than the B7 set up and we have some nasty holes in there road in my area at the moment.
But that said you not buying the RS4 as a comfortable cruiser
but if your serious get a demo out for a long drive as my opion as othere will differ from your own when you drive it

I find it really jiggly even compared to my X5 with 20" runflats.

The porsche also has 20" wheels and even with pasm in sport plus it is far better than the RS

Agreed, just P/E my 991 for the RS4 and the RS in Sport is jarringly harsh whereas the 991 you could forget you were in Sport mode.

Just had the tyre pressure indicator flash warning so checked pressures which were 35 PSI all round so have inflated to 44/45 F/R and handling much improved!

Difficult to work out from door panel - for 20 inch rims should it be 44/45 or 48 option?

I've just been having a hoon in ours this weekend for the first time in ages, and found Dynamic to be not as bad as I remembered it (DISCLAIMER: on the roads I drove last night!).

However my preferred modes are:

Comfort for just normal civilised driving. I can nudge the gearshift to S when I need to take something.

Individual: (Gearbox / diff . exhaust @ Dynamic. Steering @auto. Suspension - Comfort.) For more spirited driving.

Dynamic, gearstick to manual, ESP sport mode - for serious fun and progress.

F 35 / 38 R for normal loading.

F 44 / 45 R for fully laden.

I've got 20 inch Pirelli PZeros

Most confusing Sticker on door I've ever seen. Appears to be 42/39 F/R for light load?

Quick question if poss please :

In individual settings, I set engine to dynamic to open exhaust valves, but if I then drop the lever down to get the transmission from S to D, it then seems to close the exhaust valves again.. Anyone know if there'a a way I can get around this so I get the softer "D" gearchanges, but still sports exhaust ?

Also, does anyone know what the empty key shell is in the glovebox in the upper left in a special holder ?

I hasn't quite established if that did that or not yet. It's how the mrs tends to drive it

The other bit is for the plastic key
