Does anyone actually use their heel and toe to rev match downshifts? I find myself using the technique described in the article, perhaps because with the current pedal setup it's easier to just brake with the ball of my right foot and roll to blip the throttle with my pinky toe. I did test drive a GTI and they have floor mounted accelerators, so it's easier to mash the go pedal with the heel.

MS3 has DWB Throttle? The DBW on the GTI felt lazy, I;d tap the throttle to bring the revs up :wait: shift.

Yea, I do it. I learned the technique at the Skip Barber school and do it to stay in practice.

When I'm in a car where the pedal position is right for me to be doing it, yes I heel and toe. It's fun!

Unfortunately I can't do it in the Mazdaspeed3. Last car I was able to do it in was a '99 Miata.

I love me some floor mounted pedal!
