GL550 Sport Mode
When is it advisable to put the suspension in Sport Mode?
Comfort Mode is quieter, smoother and more ... well, more comfortable as its name implies. Our 2015 GL550 floats over bumps, tar strips and other road imperfections, plus it always seems well-controlled regardless of speed. I could imagine at extremely high speeds Sport Mode gives an extra margin of control, but I don't drive at extremely high speeds.
So, what am I missing by 'floating' in Comfort Mode rather than 'jolting' in Sport Mode?
