Normal during my 10 mile commute. It takes about that long for the oil to heat up.
Weekend jaunts...sport.

Highway, normal.

The car is a toy for me and not a DD
Same here. To boring in normal mode.

Normal: only on long distance trips highway driving (incl. the 'coast' function)
Sport: 90% of the rest of the time, mostly with PSE (80%) on but sometimes with PSE off, and occasionally with Sport suspension on as well (20%)
Sport +: only at the track
Since swapping to the Sport Design steering wheel using the paddles much more frequently than when I had the 'base' wheel.

I think what is lost on this thread is the incredible smoothness of the PDK. Normal on and gentle acceleration provides shifts that will not ripple the wine in the glass held by a passenger. Sure, it's a monster at speed but it is an extremely competent GT

I use sport mode 95% of the time w/paddles. unfortunately i never loved the sound the quick shift pdk. So with a little practice I mastered up-shifting with the paddles that if done correctly sounds like a manual transmission shift. Wind out the engine a little, lift off the accelerator and almost simultaneously select the next gear and then back on the accelerator. i hope I'm not damadging the trans by doing this but it sounds sweet. obviously this is not what you want to do for speed but around town its a lot of fun.
