Default how much do you drive in dynamic mode?

Hello, how much do you drive in dynamic mode? I find that in the morning when I'm still waking up and there's a lot of morning commuter traffic I like to keep the jag in comfort/standard mode.

When I'm cruising on the open highway I like to keep the jag in comfort/standard mode. I see no reason not to. All other times I like to keep the jag in dynamic mode. What are your dynamic/comfort/standard driving habits?

77-78% (Just playin' with you.) I listen to the cracklin' pops only on the open road, whether in stop-and-go traffic or not. In downtown areas and around my neighborhood, I shut it down.

Always on, but I have configured dynamic mode with suspension in comfort mode--still handles great.

Almost always on, except for long highway trips. Slightly better gas mileage with it off.

Only when I'm playing. Commuting and long drives its a bit of overkill... but the twistys in the mountains? Oh yeah.

Always. The car needs to be pushed and this mode provides the max opportunity.

95%. Mostly to disable ECO mode ;-) I do try to let it warm up a bit before putting it in Dynamic. Probably doesn't matter, but feels weird putting it in Dynamic after she's been sitting around for a week. I also feel like I'll disappoint onlookers if I don't have it in Dynamic mode. Gotta make some rumbles for them ;-) With a great car comes great responsibility :-)

I mostly leave it in standard mode but with the active exhaust on. I only switch to dynamic mode occasionally.

Same here. Once warmed up always in S. Mostly use the paddles as still getting used to driving a real automatic.

what's the diff b/t sport and dynamic? will sport mode rev to the top until you shift gears? or will sport mode shift for you automatically but only after the rpm hits redline? is rpm shifting threshold the only diff b/t dynamic and sport mode?

I'm in Dynamic Mode when I feel frisky. Which is 50% of the time.

Same here. 50% in Dynamic mode but I'm finding myself using it more & more. This car is a beast in Sport & Dynamic!

Have it in sport & dynamic mode most of the time but I paddle shift mostly.

The automatic shifting makes less noise!
