I still down shift but not for the same reason as some of you....
EX: What happens if your coasting in N to a stop....What if you hae to make an emergence manuver and have to accelerate around something or pass some one to avoid a collision????
You going to spend one or 2 seconds to think about shifting and then shiftback into gear. One or 2 seconds can be the diference betweenhiting and missing.
The reason i downshift is because in case of emergency, im already in the proper gear i need. Thats my reason for doing it.
