Configurable Dynamic Mode

Purchasing my F type near the end of May. Wasd wondering of the Configurable Dynamic Mode is an option worth having? I'm getting the V6 AWD model. For any of those of you who have do you customize it a lot or just leave it to factory?

I don't have it on my own car but did use it on a loan car once and don't think it's worth it. It's not as configurable as I thought. I assumed you'd be able to tune the settings more precisely but it's just an on/off switch for the different settings.

If I'm in dynamic mode then I don't know why I'd want to switch off any of the settings.

At first I experimented with turning off dynamic throttle response, as I found it a bit too sensitive, but then I tried getting used to it and I don't mess with it now.

So in a word - no. Not something to worry about.

If it's an option, you'll want the switchable exhaust, but not sure if that's standard these days or not.

+1 to this why would you want to turn of better suspension in sports / dynamic mode it’s just a toy so if it is on the car then great but don’t pay for it.

+2 I have it mine but all ive done is switch the suspension back to normal / comfort - otherwise i never touch it - so i wouldn't pay for it as an option

However - would certifiably recommend the switchable exhaust if its not standard

Lewis Hamilton I aint.

Like probably 90% plus drivers my ability does not warrant playing about with it.

Its a good gimmick to pretend you know how to wring the last tenth out of the car but in reality just leave it alone

I have it - waste of money.

It’s on my R and as above is very underwhelming in terms of what can be configured. I have everything dialled to dynamic apart from the steering which was a bit too twitchy for me at speed on bumpy roads so preferred standard setting.

I wouldn’t have paid for xtra for it as an option if there was a choice though.

As far as switchable suspension, I can't even tell the difference...seems fine in either mode to me. It's only the throttle response and the added pops that give the difference in my view!

Not even slightly worth it. Wouldn't pay for it if I didn't have it. I do have it, and I've never used it!
