: Are there any other benifits to sport mode?
It changes the shift points. That's pretty much all it does.
: I've found that when I'm in sport mode, and I I'm not careful, I'll put my
: foot down too far(well, not all that far either), and the car will jump into
: a lower gear, this startles me :-o, so I let my foot off the gas and it goes
: back into the higher gear... all this jumping around of gears can't be good
: either.
: What are your views?
My car is a naturally-aspirated 4-cylinder, and I find the sport mode
preferable unless I'm on the highway. I've never had it downshift on me
when I didn't want it to.
