@yorkslad: the Paddles are great. very easy to use and because they turn with the steering wheel, they are always at hand. Initially I thought the paddles aere a gadget and that I would not use them. Now I use them all the time, instead of the gear lever!

What I like about the paddles, is that when you are in D mode, if you press the paddles it changes gears (for example when you want to brake hard you just press the paddle and you change to a lower gear) and then after 10 secs, if you do nothing is goes back to D. In DS mode it becomes fully manual once you press the paddles.
