You're welcome.


It's the same for steering as well, except the speed switchover is lower.

Play around with three suspension options (in Individual) on a B-Road and you should notice the difference quite easily .

I don't think I've used 'Auto' in a car for a long time because it's usually so out of sorts.

Do you think dynamic steering kicks in at much higher speeds? Or is it more of a middle setting similar to the damping? I use comfort for steering in Individual with dynamic sports diff. I do prefer it over dynamic steering in general. But you raise a good point.

When entering a tight switchback for example, if you're in dynamic, it's hard work getting round that quickly due to the weight of steering. Again...Auto. I haven't even touched it haha. Cheers Sam.

It's the same concept for the steering, i.e. Auto is a middle setting.

The only caveat to all this is the Gearbox option. I've not found any information to back this up yet but I believe this is just Drive (comfort) and Sport (dynamic), selecting Auto will then switch between those 2 modes dependent on driving style. This would make sense because the gear selector can only go between those 2 options when pressing backwards.

Yeah definitely. That sounds right.

The lockdown is decent anyway in drive. Can you tell me why there is the hesitation in kick down? Well, not hesitation. I know it's got to drop down several gears. But there's a slight pause before it takes off isn't there? Is it to protect the box?

I think I read somewhere that it's already set for the next gear up so it then realised you want to go down several gears and there's a slight pause. The C63 MCT is it? That seems a bit quick in Drive/auto. Not on the paddles though obviously.

Well.

Driven some spirited lengths of B road just there. Yup! Definitely a noticeable difference Sam.

Suspension wise, I'm leaving it Auto for sure. Really tightens the car up without the bone jarring of Dynamic. The wallowy-ness has gone. Many thanks for this. Such a simple fix haha. As standard.

The steering in Auto. Jury is out. I dunno. Might just take some getting used to I guess but at low to Med speeds you have to turn in 'x' amount and at higher speeds it's 'y'. I guess after a few days you'd know how much to adjust your turn in for different speeds.

But the suspension is actually night and day IMO. Start a thread on an undertray, get better ride quality
