More responsive yes to slight throttle input, sure. Faster? no.
How do you find your CX-5 highway acceleration to be?

Mainly I'm concerned about getting around someone on the freeway, not teh feelz, so this one I think is more important to view objectively vs. subjectively, because losing...subjectively AND objectively sucks.

I will give that a try next time. I just figured since everything is electronic, when WOT was achieved this thing would go like the wind. You know, electronic response and all.

Mine does. Maybe you spun the tires a touch and got t he timing pulled? maybe it was at the bottom of 2nd instead of hitting 1st?

Honestly, if you floored it and it did not basically go to redline fast and move the car, you might have an issue. I assume you went through the click pedal?

I stopped using sports mode several months ago after I am more enjoying the manual mode, a big difference than using the sports mode. What mode do you prefer?
Modes? We don't need no stinking modes..(nor do we have them)) I 'manually' shift both my cars almost exclusively..control enthusiast...but unob's right on this one..all "sport" mode does in the CX-5 is quicken throttle response and hold gears longer- too touchy imo from my somewhat brief sampling

Sport mode in my 18 x3 is indeed sport mode. The engine transmission have distinct map changes

We*ve been over this before here with numerous vehicles, and said that*s why Mazda*s should do the same, especially with the Zoom Zoom motto.
That's different/superior to the CX-5's how? My X1 has it too its rubbish. Your X3s maybe a bit smarter maybe apportions more torque rearward, etc but short of that and/or suspension/bush stiffening of higher end examples I don't see the point. 3 pedals and RWD- the best (and only true) sport modes are ones that can't be turned off

This is proper sports mode.

There is no point. It*s still garbage, although it does adjust the power steering and body roll some...Either give the car a boost in power in *sport mode*, or leave it out and/or change the name of it...
Only real sport mode is an unfortunate dying breed, a true manual with a clutch pedal (as stated)...

It still does absolutely nothing for added power or acceleration.
On other brands it does from memory regarding faster acceleration.

Nope...
Funny thing is, for best acceleration, you*d actually want the softer ride of eco mode, and the better shift points of sport mode, hence them cancelling each other out basically. Now granted, the Bimmer sport mode is better than the Mazda because it adjust the power steering some, but it still does nada for performance and acceleration, and the adjusted ride isn*t worth it for most situations.
(hmm) - Merc and BMW used to do it...
