I have never seen a car upshift on coasting. I know BMW is a fan of essentially putting the car in neutral when you let go of the throttle. But that is the only manufacturer I’m aware of that does that.
Depends on the car, some of them are smarter about it. I remember my dad’s old pickup would downshift if it picked up speed while not touching the throttle, like when going downhill
Most of EU still drives manuals (most older models and newer floor models of VW group). I’ve been in an automatic once in my entire life.
And how do you engine brake with an automatic, is that a thing?
Same as with a manual transmission. Just let go of the throttle. Essentially all modern cars have some sort of a manual shift mode.
Not true. Your transmission is upshifting when you let off the throttle because it’s assuming you want to coast.
