Do you find the paddle shifters awkward?

[DejaVu]

So am I the only one that keeps accidentally flashing the high beams at people when I miss a downshift?

Yeah I've never done that. But I keep my fingertips on the paddles while I drive.

Never done that, but I have sprayed the windshield with washer fluid a few times when I miss an upshift! It’s why I have new paddle shifters coming in the mail that are taller.

Now that can be distracting

Yes. But at least your pants are still on...I hope.

I added the cheap Amazon extenders and love them....

Trick or in case you did not know - to go back to D - shift up (+) then immediately down (-) and car returns to Auto Drive (D)

Just hold the upshift for 2 seconds lol.

paddle shifts are perfect as is on track. no complaint at all. on the street, no reason to use manual except hear that bad ass bubbles as you down shift.

I missed the manual at first but honestly I don't miss manual anymore. The paddle shifters are great. At the track I kept it in automatic and was perfect every time.

The only time I use the paddle shifters is to brag to my friends that the car has them. I’m sure to keep them clean, I don’t want dust collecting on them. ?

I’m in manual mode anytime I’m not in traffic or just cruising on the freeway. I love it but will also be swapping out the stock paddles to something longer when I get the chance.

I find any paddles that move with the steering wheel to be awkward, wish they were fixed to the column like my GT-R had

I wish there were 8 speeds going backwards.. Just kidding.

Sorry, Tried this but it’s way too slow for me. The up/down is much quicker to do. Both work though.

I don’t like them even though they do look cool behind the steering wheel.

Reason 1: they move with the steering wheel, I find myself too long in a gear because I can’t shift while turning.

Reason 2: I dont get the same growl from exhaust between shifts as I do in auto.

Interesting takes on the fixed vs. attached to wheel paddles. I would think that having them stationary would be harder to shift in a turn. You'd have to take a hand off and reach for it - no??
