Toyota (Scion) iA 2017
hey guys,
i just purchased an automatic 2017 iA. Just curious if someone can explain more about the Sport mode in it and if it actually does anything? Only thing I noticed is maybe the changing of the gears become a bit tighter?
Thanks!

Selecting Sport mode on the console triggers the transmission’s wilder side, and the more-aggressive shift map holds gears longer and shifts between ratios more quickly.
Unwinding a twisty section of road approaches genuine fun, and—this is particularly cool—the transmission’s Sport mode even perfectly nails downshifts under braking in anticipation of an upcoming corner.
