When the shocks stiffen up your going to feel every Dip and bump that’s just apart of stiff suspension and comfort absorbs the shock from the road a lot better then while in sport mode
At first I didn't notice much difference. I'm also at about 5k miles in 3 months or so. I began to keep it in normal more and more as my commute is mostly highway with some traffic. Now when I put it into Sport mode I notice the firmer ride, heavier steering and more sensitive throttle.Even after 5 months and 5,000 miles, I can barely tell a difference between SPORT and NORMAL modes as far as the dampers are concerned. I can't tell any difference in throttle response. About the only thing I notice is the steering firms up somewhat. If it weren't for the red lights in the instrument panel, I doubt I could tell what mode it was in. I wouldn't describe either mode as "bouncy". When I think of bouncy, I think of a 1978 Lincoln Town Car with worn out dampers that continues to bounce up and down even after it's stopped.
Turn on Sport Mode in city driving. Starting in 1st you will annihilate your clutch slip from the increased throttle sensitivity.Even after 5 months and 5,000 miles, I can barely tell a difference between SPORT and NORMAL modes as far as the dampers are concerned.

My approach is usually the other way around. The Sport's partial throttle mapping seems to be more linear with boost building a bit sooner. When it's off, I feel as though the boost response is a little lazy (need to pay attention to it more though). I think it might be intentional to preserve fuel economy.
