I can't say I've gotten used to it but it doesn't seem like there's much that can be done besides not driving slow lol. Unfortunately for some of us who are constantly in urban city areas it's difficult because there are constant red lights, stop signs, crazy people crossing streets when they're not supposed to and eventually traffic. If you or anyone else can figure out how to make the transition more smooth, I'm all ears!
Couple thoughts - does it also do it when shifting in manual mode? How about switching to eco mode or sport +? Guessing this feeling is the lockup clutch engaging and then disengaging. I'd assume this engine braking is worse in sport mode + manual mode than eco mode.
