The instant lowest gear downshift, quick upshift at redline, and complimented by the roaring Borla exhaust note truly made me appreciate and enjoy the RCF again!
Been driving sport+ the past 2 tanks and only lost 1mpg compared to my usual. IMO its well worth the price. Almost took a bath and traded for M4. Glad I slept on it.

I tried with sport, but still a long lag downshifting (my main complaint) from 8th to 2nd. And most cases doesn't downshift to lowest possible gear

Sport +: street driving
Sport: Highway driving. At cruising speed just wasting gas by not using overdrive gears.

I drive in all modes. Sport+ for best performance/reaction but worst for MPG. Drive in ECO for best MPG but worst for performance/reaction.
I like Sport+ over Sport but wish I could deactivate internal engine noise amplification.
I prefer to drive in Sport+ manual mode over all modes.

Half the time sport+ mode in manual never auto. Those complaining about laggy downshifts in auto mode really need to get their head checked.
I use eco mode to warm it up and when distracted. Sometimes normal manual when I don't want the augmented sound. I use sport manual when I don't want the heavier sport+ steering.
Lexus did the augmented sound right. It does make the interior sound a lot better and authentic at the same time. It enhances the already good exhaust note just so. I run novel. Truly special Motorsport noise driving 80mph+ in 5th gear.

Usually just Sport mode for me and I've never put the car in ECO mode..ever. I'll go Sport+ if I see a mustang driver closing in.......you can bank on mustang drivers trying to stir the pot.

You are lucky to have such an exhaust. Novel is on a different planet as far as exhausts for the RCF go. It is simply unreal. Very smooth, high-pitched and exotic sounding. I am sure if it was more affordable, most of the owners would have this exhaust. If it is possible, can you please make a video from within the cabin with a few WOT runs? Would love to hear how Novel sounds from within the cabin at full throttle.
