> And how often did you engine break with that ICE car when driving around the city?

Oh all the time. I used to drive like a typical youth. I've been in USA for 10 years now and still hate driving automatics because they shift into too high a gear and then you have to constantly use the brakes. It's annoying.



Most autos have an override to shift manually and engine brake more, hardly ever see people use them except if they tow frequently though.

A lot of CVTs have virtual gears for that even, although others like the prius only have B mode.
