Title: Driving modes
Post by: MattyGTI8.5 on 01 June 2025, 22:43

What’s everyone’s set up for the ‘individual’ driving mode? I’ve got everything in comfort apart from ‘exterior engine sound’ which is set to sport, however it doesn’t seem to give as many pops as when it’s in sport mode. I’m wondering whether I should set the drive to ‘sport’ as well, sort of mimicking the sport mode but without the fake cabin noise

Only really pops when the gearbox is running in sport mode. The exhaust sound doesn’t affect it. I have mine set to sport for the exhaust note as it sounds slightly louder but that’s just personal preference.

My individual settings are everything in comfort except exterior & interior engine sound which are set to sport and DCC set to the softest setting (nearest to the minus sign).

I mainly use individual mode rather than comfort as it provides a comfortable ride with a bit of noise, but where and when conditions allow I always switch to sport mode (usually when my wife is not with me :smiley:)
