I would say its all a matter of choice but most dont always use the paddles. I go auto untill I want to do some spirited passing, then I go manual. Now I wish they would have a sport mode auto too which would shift more aggressively than regular auto. And I can tell you I have had plenty of manuals and can use a clutch but I like not having to and getting way faster shifts. I would also like to see the DSG in the Z, they shift like lightning.
