Anyone else feel the hybrid regen, when you take your foot off the pedal, really sucks the speed out of the car in comparison to non mHEV cars?

Yeah, one of the salesman at my dealership has one and says he has perfected his daily commute so he doesn't use the brake x

I've noticed the regen is a lot more aggressive if you have just used a lot of battery with a heavy foot

Slightly aggressive isn't it. Suppose it saves on brake pad usage

It's great for descending steep hills, I no longer even have to dab brakes to slow down. I'm a light brake user at the best of times, they should last even longer now.

I originally thought the brakes where binding. Thanks to the forum I don't have to go to a dealer and feel

Absolutely just like a one pedal car in sports mode around town. Especially in 2ns and 3rs. Probably. No fuel saving though as you're regening what your using at the traffic light go.
