Delivery day. To sport mode or not?

Picking up my 6MT Argento tomorrow or Friday.. Pumped.

For those who have the car, can you explain a little about regular vs sport mode, can you get yourself in trouble even in sport or no? I think I'll avoid the full off mode until more used to the car but would like to dangle a bit ha.
Anyone have any tense situations with the frs in sport? is it a good idea to put a few miles on first?

Thanks for any input!

simply put, if your 'cruisin' around and its all about MPG, then dont use it -- but if you see something fast pull up beside you or just want to show off the OEM growl of the boxer.. then snap it in SPORT.

i basically have it there most of the time cause its so much dam fun.

the SNOW button should just be labeled SLOW - cause its also known as the wife or grandpa button... lol

im pumpped for you --- makes me want to go fk around in SPORT TOO ...

I think he is talking about the "Sport" mode that dials back the VSC, not the "Sport" setting for the transmission, since he has a Manual.

The "Snow" setting just starts the car out in 2nd gear, I believe.
