Sport mode in '08 93 SS auto

I tried "sport" mode today and was rather puzzled, it seems that at speeds under 45 mph or so the car is constantly in too low a gear, the rpm is near 4500 range, the engine sounds more labored at low speeds, definitely not a "cruising" mode. (All using 93 octane gas).
I drove a Nissan (Maxima ?) a few years back that had the same "Sport - Comfortable" mode switch, and it was definitely less jerky in sports mode.
Either 1) I am doing something wrong 2) sports mode doesn't work right in my car 3) in Saab it's really for getting to highway speed faster, not for cruising at lower speeds. Any comments ?
