What's the difference between Sport mode and Sport Plus?

It'll go into 7th if you coast long enough. You can also manually select it using the paddle shift and it should stay there until you press the gas pedal far enough down to downshift it.

This may be true for the C300s but I have not found this to be true for the C450. It holds 5th and will not upshift unless you use the paddles. As soon as you exit manual shifting mode is will downshift back to 5th.

Sort of a shame as I like Sport+ but don't want to be in 5th or 6th when just cruising on the highway.

Sport and Sport+ also engine break by downshifting earlier then comfort. Sport+ will stay in 5th for quite a while, up to around 80 or so. 80-100+ will stay in 6th. I haven't had it drop to 7th which is probably because I will never cruise along at 115mph.
Sport gets out of 5th in a more sensible time like 65-70. Sport will drop to 7th after 80mph. Can't remember the exact spot. Il
Overall I dig sport mode for backroads and regular driving. Sport plus is better on the high way. I also use the paddles a lot of tweak the shift points. Sport plus hangs in 3 and 5th longer then I would like.
