Paddle shifters

I have mixed feelings as well.

Love the look and feel of the paddles but their responsiveness is lacking. I use it almost daily but primarily to drop down a gear or as previously mentioned, two gears to get the revs up when I need it. But when planning I hit sport and hand shift it.

Also when in Sport or Sport+ its incredibly responsive in standard manual mode. When you are driving aggressively it seems to respond accordingly and keep the RPMs up. When you back off it does as well.
