minus-squarePersen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoMost of EU still drives manuals (most older models and newer floor models of VW group). I’ve been in an automatic once in my entire life. And how do you engine brake with an automatic, is that a thing?

minus-squareProgrammingSocks@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoNot true. Your transmission is upshifting when you let off the throttle because it’s assuming you want to coast.
