Are you using auto rev match on your S650?

[GripTime]

Just curious if people are using auto rev match on their cars? My DH came with the setting on and I quickly turned it off and I haven't turned it back on again. I am average at best at doing it myself. Is this a feature people are using around town or only during sport drives or track driving?

I've left mine on since the test drive. I dont heel-toe so its nice to have when braking

My current ride is auto, but in my 2019 I turned it off right away.

If you like the feeling of engine brake, it might be better to turn it off.

On the other hand, if you want to enjoy a more responsive and smoother downshift, leave it on.

I have never turned it off. One of these days I will, but this is my first manual and I'm still building up to that. lol

We left it on. My wife likes the sound

First thing I disabled. I do double clutch downshifting. And either I am good, of the gearbox is very smooth. So no need. I feel it’s part of the manual driving experience to do this yourself.

First thing we turned off, prefert to do it myself.

We’ve turned it off. Out of curiosity does it follow memory/profile?

It bothered me immediately so I have had it turned off since I took delivery.

Lol. I guess you do a lot of unnecessary downshifting!

This^^ It was distracting to me for some reason to have it do it on every down shift. However, I have started to do it myself more and more since I got the car.

I haven't driven without it. Can't heel/toe to save my life.

I leave it on on my S650. It is fast enough for my...applications. I turned it off on my 2019 GT because it was slower than when I rev matched myself.
In the real world day to day driving it is purely a show-off feature. Nothing to gain from downshifting when slowing down to a red light. The only time I can see it being useful is when downshifting for passing a car.
Downshifting from high RPM without rev matching can be hazardous...the unweighted rear tires turning slower than the fronts will break grip and could send the car in a tailspin.
