Questions about downshifting

[stuffy]

thanks for the sermon biggie, but you seem to have missed my point,

no one should be driving aggressively on city streets, it is dangerous and puts people's lives at risk,
in real-world situations, there is little need to be downshifting more than one gear at a time. that's my point.
i dont' have a problem if you enjoy driving aggresively, just keep it on the track,
you may think that you are a great driver and fully in control of your vehicle but the reality is probably very different.

more importantly, if you enjoy driving like that.....

why are you driving a yaris?

The "point" of this thread was to find out if it was harmful to drop multiple gears at a time. And the answer was no...

What you seem to be missing is the Yaris driven aggressively isn't fast, it's not even quick! You need to floor it to keep up with normal traffic... Ask everyone passing you what they think about your slow and steady driving technique in the worlds slowest Toyota.

The Yaris is my commuter/winter car, and I really have to plan ahead to get that thing anywhere near dangerous.
