I should mention, it's a big nay from me too, but was seeing if others shared my view!

Not for me either, my sausage fingers can reach the standard paddles with ease.

Does anyone really use them much anyway? I mainly use the downshift for the engine braking (and I love the sound of the automatic throttle blip) but otherwise they're left alone. If I want excitement from the car I put it into Sport mode and hang on, it delivers it much better than me pulling those levers

Probably... yeah.. ha ha.. but I concur on the paddles... I barely ever use them... the TCU does a better job than me... plus I'm lazy.. that's why I bought an auto
