ah, that's nice. so in sport mode the air suspension lowers the car right the way? that's nice. throttle and tranny mapping that's available on most cars, but the steering is another nice touch

I've used the power mode several times but didn't feel a difference or maybe it's just me.

I believe its called the Audi Drive Select System, Most Audi has it as an optional equipment and the higher end has it as standard equipment.
