I see several people on this forum who drive with POWER mode on all the time and others who only turn it on occasionally...
Are there any downsides/negatives to using POWER mode often other than the decrease in mileage?
I really love the performance difference when this is on but I feel like I'm going to rag the car out if I leave it on more than a few minutes...only using it about 5-10% of the time currently.

If I am not driving aggressive, the downshift while braking feature really gets annoying. You'll be doing a nice easy slow down and then the motor/tranny jolts you from the down shift and the RPM's shoot up.

It wouldn't make much sense if that were the case--if you select snow mode, it resets ever time you start the car. But--you can leave power mode on all the time. If it was going to damage the car, I would think that the power mode would also reset.

I thought snow was ROM as well as PWR? If so, then there is nothing to 'reset' because it hasn't learned anything.
