Are you guys all driving in Eco mode or something? I drive in Comfort or DSC Off, and in stop and go traffic, letting off the throttle is typically sufficient to maintain distance from the car in front of me. I drove up (and down) the Mount Washington Auto Road and had no issue with engine breaking once I caught up with traffic (I had fun when there was open road in front of me and had to use the brakes heavily in the corners). Putting the car in Eco mode drives me nuts because it disengages the transmission when you take your foot off the throttle and the car coasts.
