I agree that comfort mode is useless... it's noisy and still choppy and raises the back of the car so it looks ugly

I like sport+ ... that's why I bought the car and I've gotten quite used to it

Main criteria is that the chassis just seems noisy and very non luxurious in comfort mode. Coupled with the fact that body lean is excessive for how bumpy (not stiff) the shocks are in comfort mode on minor road irregularities. It's better on bigger bumps though. That combo makes me feel comfort mode sucks
so your saying comfort mode is better on bigger bumps than sport but sport is better than comfort on smaller bumps?

regular sport mode is probably the best option for best ride quality while still retaining nice looks.

Did you feel sport+ is more comfortable than regular sport mode? I found in regular sport the car doesn't look jacked up high and ugly like in comfort. Looks good still pretty lowered.

which mode gives you the best ride quality?

seems like some people prefer sport/sport+ for better ride quality than comfort mode, that's news to me!
