when your car is in D, the paddle shifters will still work, as you can see. i tend to downshift 1 or 2 gears when trying to get the revs up and then just leave it to shift back into D.
you should spend some time driving around and testing out the paddle shifters to get comfortable with them
thanks. i'll definitely find a quiet street to test it out soon.
