My wife's VW Rabbit has this feature and I tried it a couple of times.
It kind of works, but it won't let you choose any gear you want. Let's say you want to shift into 5th doing 25, it just will not do it at this low speed. Basically I was constantly trying to get into higher gears.
You also have to push the shifter to the side, which makes it harder to shift into neutral for coasting.
I don't use it anymore whenever I drive her car, drive in D instead and can shift into neutral at any given time.
