I use Sport Mode all the time personally. I like to accelerate quickly then I usually just coast with it...which explains why I manage 8.6L/100KM on primarily city driving.

The only exception to this is when I'm dealing with heavy snow (basically never so far in my ownership tenure). In this case, I would probably use Comfort or Eco Mode simply to numb the power delivery for traction's sake.

I find driving in Sport to be ideal for city roads as our 60-70KM/H Speed Limit areas make switching from 5th to 6th in manual rather tedious. I find that in Comfort Mode, to drive properly in 6th gear I need to be going over 65KM/H, whereas I can drive comfortably in 6th in Sport Mode at approximately 60KM/H. This makes a big difference when you have traffic in front of you constantly adjusting their speed.
