Have you tried sport mode before? It most certainly makes a difference and it does make sense. Makes sense for the appropriate times. I've read A LOT of reviews on the 16 CX-5, the main complaint is that it's too aggressive and it should be toned back. Well, I think reviewers themselves are mistaken by the whole point of it. Just as you are. It's not meant to be used probably even more than 5 mintues of driving. It truly is for those moments when you just power more quickly, and when you just wanna have some fun, keep the rpms up, and be more in the powerful zone of the torque curve. I have it in my car, and it does just that.
No, but I did leave my Z06 in 2nd gear one time and it was super fast. Like a ZR1 being shifted properly, so I guess I can appreciate it?
Makes no sense to me.
This is a compact econo car SUV. SPORT mode does nothing for acceleration except keep you lugging around in the "wrong" gear, and re-tune the pedal so that people who are prone to placebo effects feel like the car is faster.
If you like it, that's fine. People believe in and donate billions of dollars per year to causes that make them "FEEL" good, so no harm buying something that costs a little more for a feature that makes you smile.
