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.

Happy with my deal paying $497/mo before taxes on 36 month lease with 15K miles.
Did you make a down payment as well?

Like: Subtle luxury features incorporated in EVERYthing. I mean...The windows slow down at the end of their travel to softly slide shut!

Seriously can't find the limits of this car. So far I'm pleasantly - no - extremely surprised with the dynamics and handling.

Mt. Diablo run this morning:

Thanks guys. Now I get why "Sport" mode may be a good option under certain conditions.

Congrats!

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.
