still standard in the US

I’m referring to adaptive drive mode not adaptive suspension. Button and feature is removed on my23 cars

The thread is about Adaptive Suspension

You must have missed the previous few comments asking about the adaptive button, it’s removal and whether it’s still in my23 cars

MY23's missing the Adaptive button are not missing anything worth having.

The adaptive button adjusts everything - the suspension, steering, etc. depending on the upcoming road conditions. Like changing drive modes in real time based on the map. This is the bit they seemingly got rid of. I think it’s a neat idea but I prefer things to be more consistent rather than changing how heavy the steering is as I go

Ok, that clears things up a bit. There never was a button for adaptive suspension. Only an "adaptive" button that would then make the car select which drive mode, and thus also the suspension based on the automatically selected driving mode.

Although I personally would like to be able to just adjust the firmness of the suspension on the fly, and not having to adjust driving modes to get the suspension change, it definitely has a great variable between sport and comfort settings.

you could always do an individual mode setting and change just the suspension setting to your preference while keeping everything else the same.
