i hate that i can't use engine braking in the CX9. when i manually downshift i can feel the compression braking start, but then its like magically gone. i am assuming the car is 'fly by wire' (like the runaway toyotas) and its trying to 'outsmart' me by applying a bit of throttle. i've compression braked every vehicle i've ever owned when decending steep grades. i live around a lot of hills, and i hate that the engine will not hold me back. i am afraid how short the brake life will be (as well as risking the rotors warping) because i must use the brakes so much when coasting down hills.
anyone else noticed this?
