I don't drive in D very much, but I never have a jerk stopping. I don't think I see it downshift to 1 until I'm stopped, though?

OTOH, in M mode I notice a jerk more from 4 to 3 or may be 3 to 2, not 2 to 1.

I don't like braking late in traffic, but it makes coasting down difficult to do smoothly. I wish the SRM worked on the automatic down shifts as well to help smooth that out.
