Sport+...how often do you use it?
I'm still "experimenting" with the features in my 4S and I was using the "Sport+" setting on the way home from work yesterday. The first thing I noticed was how aggressive the car became...a whole different personality from shifts to throttle response, firmness, and handling...wow! In particular, I noted how the transmission set to first, instead of second, when I brought the car to a stop. While I enjoyed the "personality" that Sport+ gave the car, it strikes me that it may be best suited for highway driving and might not be the best setting for city traffic. Inasmuch as I'm new to all this, I would be interested in how others use this setting. Thanks!

i almost never use it on my PTT, the ride is way too aggressive for the street and it holds the gears so much that the engine is constantly winding out. i drive in regular Sport mode all the time

Agree, particularly regarding the transmission holding the gears so long. So far, "Sport" has been my preferred setting as well.

Winter and stop go traffic in the city or bad roads = comfort, summer and highways = sport, sport + = rare occasions when power is needed. The roads here are mostly in poor condition, so even in sport I sometimes leave the chassis in comfort.

Sports plus on the GTS is pretty wild. Addictive but not ideal for daily driving. I use comfort on back roads, heavy traffic; sport for highway; sport plus when I want to be reminded what my car can do.

All the time, I shift myself most of the time, I hate auto trannies, so I entertain myself by shifting...

Comfort mode is mostly used daily (7th gear saves gas and less sensitive), only on the highway or mt roads that I will use Sport or Sport plus. Like entering highway, changing lanes and etc. Would prefer to keep up with the flow on the highway rather than those extremely slow lane changers who cut you off and do 20 mph.
