In a manual you don't downshift from 5-4-3-2-1 when coming to a stop so it sounds kind of weird in the auto when you do the same thing. But coming into a corner or such it just sounds bad *** when you go from 3rd to 2nd and rip it
I always down shifted through the gears with my manuals. You are going to go through a lot of brakes if you just push the clutch in and coast to a stop. Not to mention it's dangerous not to be in gear as you slow down. Now I've been driving a long time compared to a lot of you so maybe the kids now a days haven't been taught how to drive a manual properly .

I don't see how its dangerous.

here they tell us to do it because it means you wont wear out your brakes but I honestly don't like doing it. I CAN do it but im just happy with clutch, second, brake and let go of the clutch for turning.
