There's 3 at my local dealership if anyone wants one. I drove one but didn't buy, no paddles in it.

I'm sorry guys, there's just not that much difference in the M Sport model. It's slightly lower, has an increased speed limiter, and it's supposed to have a tighter suspension with some different body parts. That's it. I drove an MSport and didn't really feel that much different than my Sport model, which is why I had no issue getting one.
Any "Sport" line from any car maker is supposed to have a stiffer suspension. If a person buys a "Sport" version of any car and then complains the ride is stiff they should be beat with a Prius stick. Of course it's stiff and rides a bit rough, that's why it's called Sport (or MSport)


Personally I think the big difference between the M Sport model and the others should be the M Sport comes with the Dinan tune installed. Then it truly would be different and have better performance than the other models.
