Steering feel

Setting suspension to Sport, does it also tighten up the steering along with the shocks. It seems to feel like it. I'm assuming the other Comfort/Sport setting only does the throttle response and the transmission shifting. Where can I find an in depth explanation.

It's listed in the manual I received with my 2018 car. If you don't have one, I guess you could just google it. Best of luck.

Can't say, I have never had it in "sport" mode.

Funny how tastes differ. Sport setting is the only way I'd drive it. Doesn't make it a sports car (and it shouldn't) but the steering feel is much more pleasant.

So when I drive the GTC and then drive the Maybach I find i put the Maybach into sport setting for engine and suspension. I guess I like that connected feel. When I have not driven the GTC lately I leave Maybach in comfort settings.

I'm generally in sport mode around town but on the highway drop it into comfort mode so it shifts into 9th gear and saves some fuel.
