  • Yes - I needed protecting from myself! I don't remember the actual negT value was, but I do remember that the BISG's were limited to 100Nm - I'm not sure if that was for belt durability though.

    Regen braking used by Nissan for one pedal electric driving, that sounds like it might 
    take some getting used to.      E-pedal

    It's very marmite, completely ignored in my car.
  • Whilst everything proceeding is a just lovely discussion the point that the op is not full control of the car remains. The constant that is gravity will apply, as will friction, of which the driver has no control of and of course acceleration by the driver isn't an instant option. Not  good idea full stop.

    Does it have eco mode?   My skoda DSG would automatically coast in this mode on a closed throttle, reengaging drive instantly if brakes or accelerator touched.
    Yeah my 2015 Golf does the same in Eco mode. Vw says this is more economical than other  modes which don't coast when you lift off the throttle.
