I have paddle shifters on my car and I like to start paddle shifting down as I'm coming off an Interstate or any other major highway. I try not to let my brake lights come on as that means you are saving your brakes and not replacing them so often.

When I drove a manual transmission, I always did the exact opposite because brakes are cheaper and easier to replace than a clutch.

Learning to do a rev-matched downshift is cheaper than replacing brakes OR a clutch.
