At high speeds, I thought it really firmed up. The car wanted to be told to take a turn, but then did so with precision and conviction.

I didn't really notice a difference in steering feel between Comfort and Sport. But maybe it's because I'd use the different modes at very different speeds. Comfort, when I was cruising with traffic at 80-100 mph. Sport, when I had open road and did 140 to flat out. Will try to observe next time.

Light-weight and firmly set up cars will often have a tendency to follow grooves in the road, so it feels like they need correction. But to me, it's just "road feel".
