I've heard that doing that is hard on the transmission. Better to heel-toe downshift or use your synco rev. Burn brakes, not transmission fluid where possible. Brakes are cheaper than a new transmission!

"Great looking car. I almost/kinda which I held out for the 2010 just for the convertible. I do like the seats better, but still couldn't be happier. I thought the SyncroRev was kinda niftly initially, but I use a manual tranny like a primary brake and rarely tap the brake pedal unless I'm at a stop light. Matching RPM's on downshifts doesn't help the car slow down much, so it's been off since. "
