May end up using sport mode in summer too. But for now, it's still very cold, slippery and tons of snow so not much point in sport mode. Plus, I only have 750 kms so still breaking it in.

Apparently sport mode "sharpens" the shifts. This is from the Canadian site.

RAV4's advanced Drive Mode Select lets you easily choose between Normal, ECO and Sport modes. ECO mode helps save at the pumps by enhancing fuel efficiency and promoting more efficient driving. Sport mode ups the fun factor by sharpening shift timing along with throttle and steering response so that RAV4 responds more crisply to your driving inputs. Rev matching further enhances the driving experience.
