I noticed it stays on the next time you start up and drive again. Any reason not to have it be on all the time like possibility of wearing down the parts used in it over time ?

My fiance turns it off all the time, she doesn't love the ride in sport but I always usually have it on.

If you have AD it is always on. The sport button just makes the suspension stiffer.

Keeps the people that really shouldn't be driving a golf cart let alone a sav from killing themselves. It is normal for the sport mode to deactivate after the ignition is cycled. Prevents dummy's from forgetting it is on and wrapping it up!

Annoying yes but cannot be changed
