[QUOTE="POJ Irving, post: 535287, member: 62362"] Hi Conrad, Take it from a guy who comes from the islands( where we love to downshift) ,but now lives in Florida and have a manual shift ST.(Love it by the way, bias view point, hate auto transmissions.) there I said it . Anyway, Downshifting in your ST is not recommended in normal driving, only for going around corners, down twisting roads and overtaking with confidence. I drive alot on I-95, South Florida and I would rather utilize the brakes, even when travelling at high speeds, BETTER for you and your ST in the long run. My mileage is 35k and still have a lot of meat left on the bone. PJ. [/QUOTE]
