What settings do you use for the winter?

Hi all,

I'm wondering what settings you use for winter driving?

I just leave everything in economy but this morning on the 401 going towards Cambridge the highway was snow covered and I felt the car swaying side to side so I could not tell if it was the wind or if the highway was icy.

So I was thinking of putting the suspension on sport+ so I can get a better feel of the road.

What do you think?

Thanks!

highly doubt the sport+ suspension setting will do anything.

It's icy out there and just take it easy and so you should okay, after all, it's a rwd car.

I put it on "comfort" setting. The roads and potholes can be a bit jarring.

Bobblehead is right. I also slow my speed down. With softer winter tires anyway, I'm not going to be tearing it up out there anyway.

But in my Porsche days I treated winter conditions a little different!

I am using the same settings that I use to drive in the summer. Comfort suspension and steering, sport + throttle. Summer Driving habits haven't changed as well
