[QUOTE="kimi yap, post: 541964, member: 22271"] Ok, means you will hold to 'D' all the way until you shut down the engine... I used to be a Manual & CVT driver before, kinda dont like feel of the moving force in 'D' and we use the 'brake' to stop it forcefully. Perhaps switch to 'N' will reduce the force as well as save your brake from wearing faster, and i do think that the passengers will have more comfort & smoother feel too. :D With a CVT car and drive more than 160000KM previously, with this driving style, the CVT still works OK to me. But i dont dare to change to 'N' when cruising... Just only switch to 'N' few meters away from stop completely (and i know i need to stop for long). I believe keep changing the mode ('D' - 'N' or 'N' - 'D') will produce more wear in transmission, but how about continuous moving-stop-moving-stop and maintain in 'D' (like in traffic jam), would the force convert into wear in transmission? Any idea? :D [/QUOTE]
