Default Active chassis settings

Ive got 3 different active chassis settings on my car (Comfort, sport and advanced) and was wondering what situations would I need the advanced mode.

Ive had the car almost a year but have never really taken it out of Comfort mode. Not that I can tell a difference when I do change it!

Thanks

I also mostly can't tell the difference, but switch to advanced and put your foot down a bit going through some nice twisty bits and you'll see the difference!

Thanks
you shoulod easily see the difference between sport and comfort on a bumpy road . press the buttons one after the other , the change is instant ..
advanced is only for racing circuit use . You wont like it on the road ! Thats on older R's anyway . the newer cars have updated settings ..

On XC70 i find sport mode is the same as standard V70 whilst comfort is the wallowy ride you get with the older XC70 ..
