Mike, yes, drove them back to back. The Limited is not a total dog (~280hp), but the Sport was significantly quicker, and a bit sharper in the handling department. Apparently the Sport receives chassis improvements, and a change to the transmission.

As far as cost, I found that of the few dealers that had the Sport, most had ordered them with fewer options than the Limited models, which struck me as odd. So, cost wise we paid a few grand less than what most Limiteds were selling for. Our Sport does not have the adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, power fold third row seats etc., which is fine by me. However, I will say the one option I wish they had made standard on the Sport is the xenon lights, silly really that they didn't, and its really the only option we did not get that I would have liked.

Hope this helps!
