[QUOTE="buja, post: 1291996, member: 3309"] My dad taught me to downshift through the gears when slowing down but I stop doing it after a while. As mentioned, it is good for heavy trucks to downshift in order to maintain control. But in a car, it is not necessary because cars are much lighter and brakes are reliable. It's a lot easier to replace brake pads than it to replace a clutch and transmission gears. [/QUOTE]
