haha. I love that game!! Drives my gf crazy when I grab a huge downshift on the highway and then just coast at high RPMs instead of braking. A lighter flywheel would really help in actually slowing the car. For such a small car, the Yaris just wants to keep going and going. The flywheel must be massive!

Do you guys still blip the throttle when downshifting? Or let out the clutch slowly and let the revs climb themselves?

I usually don't blip unless something serious is going to happen, like a 180 degree left hander!! haha.

It depends... in normal driving situations I'll always give a little gas when downshifting, and I mean little. It doesn't take much on this weird DBW throttle.

If I'm... um... in a hurry (haha), I won't bother. My size 14 shoes won't allow me to heel-toe with the pedals the way they are.

I feel the same way about the throttle. But more importantly, it's good to hear there's another poor bastard out there with size 14s!!! Here's to bigfoot.
