My first time using this kind of transmission. My other autos were old technology.
When in a higher gear - 6th or 7th etc on a fast dual carriageway and approaching a roundabout I come off the accelerator but when I brake it feels like rather than freewheeling / acting under engine braking, it seems to still be still getting a bit of throttle and I am braking against that little bit of power ?
Its not a great deal and barely noticeable unless you come off the accelerator late but it definately feels different to previous autos.
The demo ( a few months old with 4k ) that I test drove did not feel like this so maybe the transmission "settles in" ?
Also, in case its related - the accelerator pedal seems stiffer than I have had before - more pressure is needed to depress it.
Any thoughts ?
