ya know, when I first bought my '87 Turbo I didn't notice it at all but the more I drove it and got use to the car I could pick up the difference from NORM and SPORT. I still don't notice much in cornering but daily driving straightline, I can such as a rougher roadway and on the freeway at or above the speedlimit. I normally like to go to NORM when on the freeway or when the road is rather rough. I think if Toyota gave us full control over the TEMS (all three positions) we'd feel more in-control and feel it. I understand there was a modual and switch control that was manufactured when we could manually control it, but it's been out of stock for years. I've seen one come up on ebay a year or so ago.

Believe me, you would not enjoy using the 3rd position for everyday driving. It is VERY stiff.
Check here for how to manually put it any of the 3 positions you want.

I was just about to post the same question, if TEMS makes a noticeable difference in driving. I never really noticed much. A little, but not much.
