Before when coming to a complete stop, I would put it in neutral and coast or would select a lower gear that I knew the speed at the time could handle smoothly.
I heard some folks say the S-mode dumbs down the manual shifter or somehow the S-mode takes away from the shifting experience....that's a load of crap!!
Really cool innovation Nissan!!!
Congratulations on your discovery. It is a very fun car to drive. You are getting extra "love" on this post because it has been discussed many times in other posts. Dont worry though. They are harmless and most of them very helpful when you need it.
Enjoy your ride.
