How many of you drive the AS in Low most of the time? I find myself driving mostly in Low and Sport mode...

Nope.

Normal height and comfort mode.

I find I rarely use Sport mode in the Turbo, I do not really need it as its blisterinly fast as is.

Low setting and sport PASM setting 95% of the time. Only select comfort PASM in urban situations with poor road surfaces.

All of the time. Even when going over rougher ground.
It reduces drag, lowers noise, improves stability.
Fortunately, the car remembers, so I do not have to push the button all the time.

I adjust PASM modes depending on surface. British roads do seem benefit from this adjustability.

I drive in Low with the Cargraphic module enabled 99% of the time. PASM set to Sport. 1% of the time
I turn off the Cargraphic module to drive up/down a steep driveway apron.

I drive in low permanently. As I don’t drive off-road (who does?) I don’t see any reason to use the higher setting.

Even so I note that the suspension settles even lower on exiting the car. I wish it would do it before exiting.

Whilst I’m having a gripe: I wish the passenger mirror would not stay in the reversing position quite so long as well. It makes seeing the approaching traffic on a one way street when pulling out from a drivers side parking place a bit tricky.

Sounds like you'd be better switching the dip on reversing off ?
