Although in manual mode this didnt happen if felt like 100% lock all the time and it was definitely engine braking off throttle.

The 2 times I test drove this car they were both pretty extensive drives done mostly in manual mode. This car was very easy to engine brake n bring back up to power.
But owning 2 nissan auto/ manuals already you get the general feel for the 7spd pretty fast.
This 7spd engine brakes a lot better thn both my former G35 n current 3.5 altima.
I really hope they come with tranny upgrades on this auto?
Does anyone kno if this tranny is double-clutch. Cuz it performs like it?
