Default used to rev-match-downshift when braking :-)
comes from using your toes to brake and heel to blip the throttle...

but in the S4, I just roll my ankle (instep-side brakes, roll the outside and blip the throttle)

Default "Heel to toe" is that new dance by Willie Nelson...
...just kidding of course! Taner's explanation below is good. ;-)

On an S4, its a good way to sprain an ankle... pedals suck for it.
