No I didn't.

...

Just in case: Shift into M and go, don't touch the paddle shifters.

Pull the shifter all the way back past drive. If you don't touch the paddle shifters, you are in sport mode. Touch either one of the paddle shifters and you are in manual mode.

Sport Mode puts the automatic transmission into a more agressive gear shifting mode. But ultimately it's still an "Automatic" transmission, you don't need to touch the paddles to shift up and down. If you switch to Manual Mode, you are in charge of up shifting. The transmisison will still downshift for you automatically, but not up shift. You can of course, override and downshift at any time yourself.

It really is a great feature.

How much more gas do you end up using in Sport Mode? Anyone know?
