How often are you in Sport mode...

Use it everyday without a doubt.... there's nothing like mashing the pedal in sport mode to pass some joker who's slowing up the normal flow of interstate traffic on the commute home.

60% of the time, all the time. lol
i usually let her warm up in normal + auto. then its manual + sport all the way baby!
the roar is so intoxicating - nothing beats dropping it a few gears and ripping it after a long day at work!

Almost never, but not because I don't want to. I commute daily in mine so I'm after the best gas mileage. Sport mode is too agressive for good mileage, at least the way that I drive. If I want to pass somebody, I just double pump the gas pedal, and it downshifts pretty quick and kicks in the double stage air intake.

^^^^The reason it isn't is that Lexus tested the car in Non Sport mode for the EPA to get good MPG numbers so we could avoid the gas guzzler tax. But, most (all) of us use it. I personally think the throttle response is totally unacceptable in non-sport mode. In any event, Lexus has realized this, and in the 2011 models has moved the activation button up from behind the steering wheel, to the steering wheel on the right side under the telephone and display buttons, a very good move IMHO.
