How often are all of you driving the car in Sport Mode?
Sport Mode on and PASM off 100% of the time. Always leave PSM on. Sport Mode is especially usefull with Tip, since it makes the car start in 1st gear rather than 2nd.
... didn't realize that yet ...
Thanks for the information ... i'll try it!

The three buttons I press in the city:
1. Sport mode
2. Suspension (softer ride)
3. Recirculating air
The real sports button comes from flipping the tip lever to the left putting it in manual mode.
Not sure what you mean here. If you push the sport's button, the suspension gets stiffer. Are you saying you can get the suspension back to softer and still have sport switch on??? What suspension button are you referring to????

Not mine
With Sports-Mode enhanced it will still start in 2nd gear.
How did you manage first gear starting

That would be the next button over, the one with the little shock symbol.......sport button turns on two functions, you can turn PASM back off.

Re: Sport Mode
Quote:I'm not sure of the exact "science" but when I go down my driveway with the sport mode on, I don't scrape the lip - maybe the PASM keeps the shocks from compressing as early as they might in non-PASM mode - anyway seems to work for me.

You must first exceed 3300rpm - See page 75 of the manual (English version) for a full expanation of all Sport Mode features.
Re: Sport Mode
On using the recirculating air....when I press the button, the automatic air button goes off. Do you find the same thing and I guess the air conditioner is still on...what is your interpretation???
Appreciation the answer on turning off the PASM when turning on the sport switch. I never would have found that and quit using the sport switch because of the firmer ride. Appreciate that bit of info.

Yes, pressing Sports brings the overboost. If you press the shock absorber button following the Sports button, the car gives a softer ride even with overboost.
I'm not sure if I'm actually turning off PASM when pressing the shock absorber button. All I sense is a softer ride which to me, provides more traction when road surface is not perfect.
Pressing Recirculating button overrides auto mode (hence dimming the auto light), cutting out outside exhaust good for city bad for highway or long distance - no fresh air, less oxygen - gets you tired sooner.

pressing the pasm button again turns off the light and the ride becomes softer, but I could swear it is not as soft as with the sport button off too. It seems to be an intermediate ride stiffness.

Thanks, I'll need to do more experimenting! Curious what's the official take from Porsche, will check manual.
