Kind of sucks with this engine breaking thing. During winter I use it very much in my manual vw 2007 golf/rabbit tdi. But in the Audi q5 7speed auto there is next to no engine breaking when I downshift. Almost got me in some trouble.
From where I am people put the emphasis on engine breaking during winter, so it disappoints me that manufacturers are stepping away form this practice.
Well, I guess you can't have them all when it comes to technological progress.
