rev matching downshifts are COOL!!!
#16
if i'm going to have to drive an auto, i do prefer something that lets me drop from top gear to the next down (5th to 4th in your cases) without dropping my foot too far. more often than not, all I need is a little extra oomph another gear down. is350's 6spd was actually a tad more satisfying in that respect, but nothing takes the place of a manual, i suppose.

It does help slow down a bit where I would downshift, and the rev match is smooth, but still, kinda not the full experience for me. I find myself just leaivng it in auto 99% of the time.
Without the feel of the clutch, just not the same.....
