I engine brake all the time in my rear-wheel drive pickup. No problem with that at all.

It is a little different driving a rear-wheel drive car than a front wheel drive one. I do think about it a little more in winter.

Only things that are ever rear-wheel drive now-a-days; sports cars and pickups! Guess which I've driven!? Suppose that qualifies the MiEV as a sports car!
