Yea, I tried it in Sport mode and the throttle response is very good for dry conditions but not so good for snow conditions, ie, it's too sensitive and the dual clutch transmission engages too quickly. Normal drive mode and Eco mode are much better with this car in snow like this. Also I was driving with traction control off but dynamic stability control on. It does spin its wheels a bit when setting off from a stop but it still gets going even on slight inclines.
