I like Sport the best but around town the jerky downshifting is pretty annoying.

Then don't use it. It isn't a mind-reader. It's designed to hold gears longer and utilize engine braking as if you were using a manual transmission. If it's a problem, there are paddle shifters you can use to rectify the situation. For those of you who have never driven 10/10s in this thing, put it in Sport then actuate Manual shift mode. No, it doesn't shift as quickly as a twin clutch Ferrari, but you have total control and I think you'll be surprised at what it can do for an SUV.

@TMac, unless you're referring to 10/10ths Driving School, I'm not sure what you are referring to. Would you please enlighten me?

It's just a saying here- to drive 10/10ths is to drive full out race mode.
