I know there have been many posts about the utility or lack of regarding the Sport Mode setting but I thought I'd add my two cents. To reach home from the city I drive a thirteen kilometer long road up a mountain that has only a couple of short straight stretches the rest being all curves including some hairpins. There is a lot of downshifting, third to second as you slow before a curve then accelerate out of it. I've been experimenting between Sport and Standard Modes on that drive and my seat of the pants impression is that Sport Mode is definitely more responsive and downshifts quicker under those conditions than Standard.
Granted it could be my imagination.
