Advice requested please - if I do not spec SC can I still access the various suspension and air settings albeit from the various console buttons?
I realise I will miss out on launch control but more interested in setting PASM and air.
Has anybody specced this and thought they could do without it??

Yes, you can adjust both PASM and air settings using the centre console buttons.

Thanks Allan - would whatever you set stay that way when you switch off car or would you need to reset every journey?

As above but you’d have to press sport again each time

I don’t need to press anything? it’s set in low and stays there unless I choose to revert to standard.

The only thing you don't get without Sports Chrono is "Sport +" as a PASM/gearbox/throttle mapping. However, unless you plan to take your car on track days you're unlikely to miss that.

If you don't go for SC, have a think about the compass for the centre of the dashboard. Apart from becoming a focal point, it does have a digital clock and altimeter.

Thanks Peter that’s helpful 👍
Re compass you get the analogue clock anyway which given the choice I would prefer - old school 😂

With the SC dial you get a 60 second step timer as the large dial, inside there is a digital clock and below that an analogue clock about 20mm in diameter.

For everyday driving SC is pretty u/s, yes it has LC but who uses it? For me never in over 5 years, I have never used the Sport+ suspension setting as I simply do not go hurling my car around the country lanes. Sport setting is more than enough in reality.

Me neither. The last time I used it was in a Subaru Legacy SpecB with wife and daughter on board. The screams from my daughter and ear bashing from Mrs B were only compensated by the laughter from my son in law. He'd never accelerated as fast. He bought the car off me a couple of years later :)
