Well I brake and downshift to slow down. It all depends on the situation. I don't know about you guys but when i am in second gear and i let go of the accelerator I get a decent amount of engine braking. So for city driving I let the engine slow me down and use the breaks toward the end if i need to come to a stop. Now if were talking about high way driving and using a downshift to slow down I never do that. I feel like your forcing the engine to much. If anything there has to be a balance, and I guess it comes from rev matching.

Thats just what I do.
