Hello,  I have a 2013 base Carrera (first time Porsche owner) and was a little dismayed when driving the car under 'normal' mode.  The gear upshift so fast that I was still driving at 20 mph and already on 7th gear.  Correct me if  I'm wrong, but isn't the engine works extra hard under that condition?  But when I switch to 'sport' mode the throttle response properly and I was always on the right gear.  My question is, is there any drawback/down side if I drive the car on 'sport' mode all the time?  Thanks.

Nothing wrong w driving in Sport mode all the time. It's the way the car was designed. Normal mode is programmed solely to maximize fuel economy .
