Paddle Shifting Question

you can keep your foot on the gas while you upshift/downshift. the car is still ultimately an automatic so it'll handle all the shifting.

I use the manual mode all the time and always keep my foot on the gas when upshifting. Downshifting you would be decelerating or breaking so you would naturally be of the gas.

Not necessarily. You downshift to speed up too.
