Eco,Normal and Sport changes throttle response
Sport+ changes damper stiffness on top of the Sport throttle response
Sport+ also tightens up the steering. I mainly use sport when I want the more aggressive throttle and shifting pattern but want the softer suspension setting.

Thanks guys. Now I get why "Sport" mode may be a good option under certain conditions.
I really didn't use Sport mode myself until I swapped in lowering springs and 20" wheels. After the changes running over manholes, train tracks, and brick pavers in the city quickly got tiresome. Now I use Sport for battling taxis around town and leave Sport+ for the highway and backroads.
Like: NVH is well controlled without feeling like an isolation chamber. There's enough there to feel connected to the road, the growl of the engine when you stomp on it. But a serene ride when you want to relax.
