    Default Sport Mode

    Is it true that you shouldn't really use sport shift mode for daily driving or short racing ? Heard that somewhere before, said it could mess up sport mode or something ?

    It's all electrical. I wouldn't worry about it.

    They wouldn't put it on there is you weren't supposed to use it. I don't drive in Sport very often, but I'd bet many of the people here use it all the time.

    I usually use it during parkway driving. I like how it downshifts. Adds a lot of passing power

    I use it quite often, mainly because I do mostly city driving and I hate it when AFM activates. I love downshifting from 3rd to 2nd when the RPM's are pretty high, it sounds like a Nascar, lol

    I would use it more, but I always leave my had on the shifter so anytime I take off fast I shift it in to manual. Not fun when going WOT.
