Sport Mode Steering?

I want to confirm that when the car is in Sport Mode the steering stiffens up a bit. I've noticed this since day 1 and it makes sense. Just want to confirm.

I don't think one mode can be described as more artificial than the other

If you drive in sports mode all the time you won't feel any difference
