With the X, no brakes necessary - there is hardly any body roll even though I feel the g-force sideways (sport seats come in handy) - it's a fantastic difference. I'll have to turn off the sport mode and see how that loop feels next time. I'd have to say though that on normal everyday driving challenges, I couldn't really tell a difference with it on or off.

As for self-leveling... I believe you only have it if you have 3rd row seats. Don't know too much about it nor care to, myself.

Comfort seats are way more adjustable and are definitely softer. But if you have the sport package, you're paying $1k to get the comforts and nothing back for the sport seats that are replaced.

You cannot turn off the adaptive drive it is always working. Turning sport off just gives a softer ride. Adaptive drive is great in my opinion.
