Comfort vs. Sport on Air Suspension

I've always been a comfort guy, even on my old 400. However, recently I found that I have been using sport when the pavement is like a roller coaster, up and down in big waves. In the SF Bay area I feel it in the right lane of the right hand bore of the Caldecott Tunnel heading west. The sport setting gives me more control and damps out the up and down motion, while the comfort setting doesn't. After any section like that, I immediately go back to comfort. The sport setting is too busy for me - I don't like feeling all the small bumps. I never use the normal setting. Anyone like sport all the time?

For the first six months, I left it on Normal. Then I tried Sport for a while, and while the rigidity was novel, I eventually tried Comfort, and of course, what a difference. I leave it there now, but occasionally go to Sport when approaching chicanes (s-curves); however if the road surface is rough in this mode, I slow down and go back to Comfort. It goes without saying, the choice is always easier if one is familiar with local roads.

I always keep it in Sports mode as I can't stand it when the car feels floaty. If I wanted that, I would have purchased Lincoln or Caddy.
But I definitely like to have an option to switch between modes and at times switch to comfort if a road is too bumpy.

I personally never use comfort, way to soft for me like driving a bath tub. Mine is set in normal 90% of the time, it has a good balance. When I do high speed or twisties I hit the firm and the ETC both forward (on) and let it rip.
Firm is to harsh for me using that all the time, but I have 19 inch stock rims.

i personally like comfort mode since most of my drives are on highways. I rarely use the sport setting. I use the sport setting when I was to speed rigorously, other than that I leave it on comfort or normal.
