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

: 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.
