Sport Mode - How often?
 
How often do you drive in Sport Mode? I'm about 50/50 or more. I tend to like the heavier feel of the steering and the touchy gas pedal. I wish if I cut it off in Sport Mode it would stay in sport mode as opposed to defaulting to Normal. I probably wouldn't ever take it out then.

I haven't put mine in sport yet. Im waiting to hit 1000 miles or so, although Im sure it doesn't even make a difference as far as break in is concerned. I just know that Ill want to push it when the sport mode hits =D

i drive it in sport mode 90% of the time, but i'm finding that sometimes this isn't ideal, as it winds out the "fake" gears longer than they need to go at times and just burns fuel. i'm averaging 18 mpg in my SR, lol.

and what is this "break-in period" that you speak of? that is foreign to me. ;)

18 mpg! Snap. Man, you must be in the throttle all the time! I'm hitting 25 mpg, but in slow, 2 Lane road traffic to my work. No freeway time to hit it.

Most of my commute is freeway driving, but there's also a ton of traffic, so if I see an opening, I gun it. This basically means I'm driving in the most fuel-inefficient manner possible lol.

That engine sound when you get into it just makes it worse. You want to stomp it more! Especially in sport mode when the engine sound is "enhanced". Most fun sedan I've ever owned.
