Does Sport Mode Alter P-AWS?
In an early review of an RLX Advance by Edmunds, the comment is made that Sport Mode "increases the gain" [sic] of the rear wheel steering.
What does that mean, exactly?

Hey George,
So far , my experience with P-AWS has been as different as turning off the VSA. Dramatic at times, especially if your using the paddle shifters and keeping the gearing kind of low.
When we were in the mountains I would turn off the VSA and change to Sport mode and the RLX was a whole different animal...It got so bad my wife got a little upset...to say the least.
This is one of the enjoyments of owning a car with a wide variety of driving modes...
Hope this helps...

I suppose that I am just going to have to sacrifice fuel economy for a few days and drive around in Sport Mode 100% of the time, just to see how different it is.
In some [recent driving], I found that the rear wheel steering helped quite a bit but I did not stop to think about whether the P-AWS system was behaving more aggressively in Sport Mode because I wasn't really in the frame of mind to compare it.
This is a very neutral handling vehicle in the right conditions.
