With regards to Spor+, both the dealers I test drove with said exactly the same thing but that's because they're pussies and don't want people test driving their cars with the TC turned off. Also, I believe that Sport+ is the only way to truly turn the 8AT into a manual? If you want to use your own gears and shift with teh paddles with no interruption from the computer, I think that's your only option. I honestly don't know why the dealers are all so scared of Sport+, it's not like this is a mid-engined car. It's a front engined, rear driven, well balanced car and so a lack of TC ain't gonna kill you unless you're a foo' that doesn't know how to drive
Don't listen to them jrberry! Go and have a play in Sport+ next time it's wet and findnthe balance point of the steering and throttle at slower speeds. Besides, how else can you do a 40-100 run in 4th gear to feel that engine character unless you're in Sport+?
