I feel like the comfort suspension is like driving a boat lol. I almost never use it anymore except for rare occasion like pothole infested areas or when I have a full load of people in the car during city driving.
I use to drive at a 50-50 split but can't take the feeling of driving an 80s Cadillac to often

My parents have a Lexus GS and they felt my car was too harsh in comfort. They prefer +1 when in my car.

I don't get the boat effect unless I got up to +1 mode. I used to ride mostly in sport but so much road construction and parking bumpers at work have be in comfort almost full time now.

I think I've ridden in sport so long now that comfort feels very different to me. It's like a totally different car. I think it's slightly mental but I swear it feels so awkward.

Either all of you folks live in a states/cities with great roads, or it is me being paranoiac
The roads are subpar in Boston and surrounding towns. When going over the bumpy roads in sport mode, I am afraid I am putting a lot stress on suspension elements, interior and dashboard elements, etc.
