b3lha,
I would not disbelieve, but would be surprised if your Power Mode button causes the same performance that the automatically activated power mode causes in U.S. cars. I know that the power mode does cause some undesirable behavior in my car, but because the mode is used only in great moderation, it's of relatively little consequence.
How does your Power Mode button work? At what speeds does it downshift when coasting? How is it wired? It would be very interesting to know if the behavior of your manual activation is the same as our automatic activation. It would also be interesting to know where the wires go. Perhaps you share the exact same TCU, and the only thing missing from ours is the wiring and switch. That would be very cool.
Personally, I like driving the torque-monster. I love being able to climb steep hills in high gear with the torque converter locked up. ...but your right, it's not sporty, and I understand why the shift points would not suit your mood if you're feeling frisky.
