Funny you should mention it today... on my "long way home" from the
local Dunkin' Donuts, there is a stretch of dirt road which must be
driven slowly, due to bumps, pedestrians and foliage.  Often I play "let
the ISV drive the car" on this mile or two.

4th gear gets about 15 mph in my 90Q, the ISV will drive the car in
fifth fine, too, unless you encounter too much of a hill.  Oh yes, it
also can't slow the car running slightly downhill very well, either. 
But I didn't try downshifting...
