Where the Sport truly shines is in the details that make driving a ritual rather than a chore. The sport-tuned suspension stiffens the ride just enough to feel the road’s texture, but it never rattles your teeth or your latte.
You’ll find yourself taking the long way home, hunting for roundabouts and canyon curves that feel like mini rollercoasters. That’s the point: this car turns a 15-minute commute into a 30-minute smile session.
Practical tip: Swipe down on the infotainment touchscreen to quickly adjust your driving mode. Pro tip: leave it in “Sport” mode and let the exhaust note—a throaty, purposeful growl—remind you that life is short, even if your drive isn’t.

The sport seats hug you like a trusted friend, with enough bolstering to keep you stable during tight turns but with the comfort for a weekend road trip. There’s even a hidden storage drawer under the seat—perfect for stashing a pair of sneakers or your secret chocolate stash.
