Default Drive Select on a Manual Transmission

Can't find any thread anywhere on this, so here it goes.

Is there any real value getting Audi Drive Select on a Manual Transmission?

The Audi configurator allowed it as an option, but do you get much value without the Auto Transmission?

I am looking at the S-line............does the Select Drive just become superfluous since I am already rigging it with a sport suspension?

This has been discussed quite a bit already.

Regardless of transmission choice, ADS is a wonderful feature if you place a value on being able to transform the car into different cars at will. Dynamic is fun when you want an aggressive feel. Comfort is great when you want to relax. The change in suspension damping, steering ratio, and throttle mapping is very noticeable.

I have ADS on my S5 and I appreciate the control it offers.

Perfect. Thanks

If you can direct me to the thread, I would enjoy the reading. I do a search, and come up with everything in the world.

But your answer was concise and helpful

I have ADS with a manual. Get it. Unless you're just buying the car to pick up dudes (they check it out more than chicks do).
