Apparently some people have been informed to not use B-mode as their regular driving mode.
As an experienced driver of electric vehicles I have always used the regenerative braking as my primary means of slowing down and no other manufacturer (to my knowledge) has warned against doing this. I have only used the B-mode to drive so far and plan to continue using it, but if there is a compelling reason not to use it, then I want to know.
Any technical information is especially welcome.

I'm not discounting it either way as I haven't read anything from Mitsubishi on it, however my salesman was the only "qualified" person at the dealership on the MiEV, and after asking the same question, he informed me that he was told not to drive around in it.
He did admit that he wasn't given a technical explanation why when I asked because like a kid I need to know why and it needs to make sense or I'm likely going to do it anyway
