Sometimes as I accelerate onto the freeway after getting in my Saab I'll select SPORT which will trigger an immediate downshift. It takes less throttle application to initiate a downshift in sport mode. Sport also moves the upshift points much higher up the RPM band, but this is only noticeable with big throttle inputs, so anytime I drive aggressively or am in a hurry I select sport. For "normal" driving and poking around I won't select sport because it won't make that much difference. People who don't use a lot of throttle normally will still find selecting sport in mountians and hills will provide more satisfactory driving as the hills and and mountains make drivers use a lot more throttle naturally.
