When in sport mode the car holds the gears longer so when youd normally expect it to shift up, it wont. And if you let off since the engine is holding the revs itll decelerate. Its perfectly normal.

Perfectly normal. Do not release the accel pedal too fast after pushing down on it hard or it will stay in the gear you left it in and will resume once you push it again so that it can upshift when it needs to. Otherwise manually upshift it. I have had this on my BMW too.

Quick question and off topic, I find my F-sport to have a slight choppy ride on certain highways and I wonder if it really those badly rated firm bridgestone turanza tires. How do you feel about them on highways and grooved roads. Someone told me he switched to Michelins and the ride as well a handling improved quite a bit. I love the way it rides around town and back roads and the handling but I do some driving on the highway each week and want to make it more tolerable. Its smooth on asphalt highways but on cement highways, the tires seems to pick up noise and tend to pick up more irregularities from the road.

I ended up buying an F-Sport - and actually felt a bit of the same choppiness. My guess is that it's a combination of tire size, wheels, and the AVS.
All the cars were AWD
It's not bad - but it is noticeable.

It's a combination of the sport suspension, and tires. The tires are high performance profile, so you will definitely feel the road. But I honestly love it, which is why I purchases the F-Sport; to feel the road. Guess I am used to harsh suspensions, coming from my ultra stiff G37 coupe which was on coilovers.

Hey - I noticed the same choppiness when driving a base car - and it wasn't apparent on the luxury. So I figured it was something to do with the AVS.

My luxury 4GS has AVS. After driving various tires on 3GS, I can tell you that tire DOES make a difference in ride quality. I remember test driving the luxury 4GS with dunlop on it and I don't think it was as smooth/quiet ride as Michelin Primacy. I was so happy when my car arrived with Michelin instead of Dunlop.
