Does make me wonder why that is the way now though? I take the view that in a manual, I'm not really wanting to use the engine to brake, but I do want the car to be in the most appropriate gear to deal with any eventuality I may encounter. Also, in my automatic car, I can see it on the dashboard display, gradually going down the gears as it slows. Someone at Mercedes must think that was a good idea for what I'd strongly suspect are the same reasons.
Anyway, I taught my son to drive three years ago ( that way ) and he passed no bother so it can't be a big deal with the examiners.
