If you have ultra smooth roads, you may not notice a difference. On any rough concrete surface or bumpy asphalt surface there is a noticeable difference.

No, here it's also an expensive option but I'm glad that I have it on my car.

I know the throttle response is more urgent in sport mode....but is it just me, or does the exhaust sound more sporty? (do the baffles in the exhaust change?). The sound of mine in 'sport' is music to the ears!

I'm with you... I think it sounds more sporty too. Of course, it might just be the throttle being more sensitive, but even when I'm steady at 3,500 RPM it seems to sound better.

I love driving in sports mode compared to normal mode though. I can certainly tell an overall difference.... especially after being in Sports mode for an hour while driving through areas where it'll be 40mpg, to 5mph, then to 60mph all within a minute, and then switching back to Normal mode. You'll want to get back into Sports mode ASAP! haha.
