You can tap the paddle 3 or 4 times in sissy mode and second wont drop to first at the same speed it will in sport mode.
If people are shifting their Autos in manual mode w/o sport mode engaged on the tranny, you are really missing out big time. Might as well just leave it in drive.

Well.............. I tried it today in all 4 combinations of Sport mode on or off in either auto or manual mode. Held it 30 mph and repeatedly tapped the downshift paddle and it wouldn't downshift to first gear until I slowed down to 29mph. This was the same in any of the four combinations. It can't be what you say and what I experienced, must be my imagination.
