Braking

Not sure if you guys experience this, but everytime i try to bring the X to a complete stop, the car would jerk just before the complete stop. This happens even though i try my best to smoothen out the "jerk" by being very very lightfooted. Is this normal? I didn't get this problem with my old CRV :dunno:

I can get rid of the jerk though, by shifting to N before i come to a complete stop - but not sure if it is recommended to shift between N and D everytime i stop. I don't mind the jerk when I'm drivin by myself, but when I do carry passengers I try to make them as comfy as I can.

What do you guys think?

Feature or problem ?

Do you have the 6 speed tranny ?, heard of that being a 'feature' to help using engine-brake car to a stop, but it shouldn't jolt the car in my opinion.
