I had to get it as part of the on/off road option. I like having it, as the sport mode also changes some characteristics like the shift patterns and gas pedal response. Frankly in the normal auto/comfort mode the car sometimes has a little hesitation when pulling out into traffic. Prefer to switch to sport if I need a quicker takeoff. Also my puppy seems to prefer sport mode because the Active Curve system keeps the car flatter through turns in that mode, seems to make him less car sick.

We find the ride in comfort mode better and more controlled than our 2010 without it. Passengers have complimented the ride as being very smooth. I find the sport mode too stiff and jittery around town.
