Real time changeover to sport from comfort

Does anyone else find it useful to switch from comfort to sport in real time? I have read a few posts where people dislike comfort.

However, I like the caddy feel. Yet, when I approach a few twistys I like to quickly go from comfort to sport. The system can changeover so fast that it is easy to anticipate a curve and then switch into sport or sport plus.

So, it got me thinking that to me it would be nicer if I could configure the shifter to tighten the suspension and the steering when I throw the shifter into the sport gate instead of hitting the dynamic drive buttons.

It seems like that would make more sense than having to feel around for the comfort/sport switch. Plus, you have to hit it a few times to get past normal mode.

Can anyone tell me if the system will follow the dynamic drive configuration for sport mode when you throw the shifter into the sport mode? Or, does the shifter's sport mode only increase the shift points?

Finally, do you find real time changeover to sport to be as cool as I do?

Yes, I agree - but I typically switch back and forth between normal and sport (chassis setting only) for most of my driving. IMHO the comfort setting is worthless.

YES. My favorite is coming into a turn in normal and then switching it to sport on the entry
