So far I've notice when I'm in sport mode D, it up shifts at a higher rev and it does match rev down shifting when you are braking from a high rev. It works great!

Feeling lazy? Switch to Sport Mode D; Feeling bored? Manual Mode

Yes, it almost has to affect it negatively..stays in lower gears longer...higher revs...but well worth it!
I wish it was in sport mode as default and you had to put it in "eco" mode when desired. I get tired of pushing the button every time I get in the car. AND when you use cruise control it automatically shuts off but they should have programmed it to turn back on after cruise is turned off. |

I would love to see how bad the effect really is on fuel consumption. I think I'll need to do a few test tanks with and without the sport mode engaged 100% of the time.
I have sport engaged about 50% of the time, and drive approximately 60/40 (traffic/hwy) driving. I average about 26.5 mpg right now. If it's not too bad, I'll keep it on all the time. The car is so much more responsive in sport mode, and actually feels safer to me (when I have to make a quick pass or evasive maneuver.

Pretty sure you can only be in drive mode on cruise.
