Sport Plus takes some skill, but it is definitely not for driving around town in traffic. It is jumpy and acceleration is designed for a continuous throttle of sorts. So accelerating and decelerating in short spurts is not for Sport Plus. because of how the transmission is programmed in Sport Plus. You should configure a Sport Individual entry and turn down the transmission to Sport only. May want to soften the suspension too. Then you have a spirited mode that you can drive around congested areas with rough roads.
