.... if the system is doing it for you, how is that invasive?
Don't you just drive & enjoy creamy smooth downshifts without the added effort?
I thought that would be a benefit in daily driving.
I think a lot of people might find it "invasive" during daily driving because they love the skill of downshifting themselves. When I test drove the 370Z, I was amazed at how great of a feature it was. I loved it. But I can't see myself driving regularly with it on. I really enjoy downshifting, and find it to be one of the joys of a manual transmission.

Just my 02 cents... everyone's opinion will vary of course.

Major kudos to Nissan for making it an on-off feature (and stays that way even when you restart the car).
