Uhhhhh.... Really?(!) Sorry dude, I for one really don't like the throttle blip in heavy traffic and stop & go driving. Maybe you're thinking of the VSM feature?
Yes, syncro is a neat feature. But I rarely use it.

Why wouod you need to downshift in stop n go traffic? I rarely get out of 2nd in stop n go traffic and why would you downshift into first that's a no noo

If you have the SRM turned off, I would hope you're blipping the throttle yourself on a downshift, so what's the difference?

Uh, no. Stop & go traffic really doesn't call for rev-matching (either with or without the syncro). Besides the embarassment factor, low rev driving doesn't need rev-matching.

True, and the computer seems to know this as well from what I can tell. There doesn't seem to be any embarrassing revving during downshifts during low rev driving in stop and go traffic, so I don't see the need to turn it off.

Nonetheless, what works for me might not be right for you or someone else, so I encourage everyone to drive the car in all types of conditions with the SRM on and off to determine what works best for them.
