Paddles cover in the middle of 1/2 oclock to and 4/5 oclock. There's a lot of room to playing. You just get used having one of your hands at 9 and three. I really don't see the big deal.

It's not perplexing to press the clutch and the brake clutch and brake together. Why so hard to manipulate the steering and it a paddle that runs in line with the steering wheel?

Lastly I don't recommend shifting in the axis of a turn unless your goal is to either slide or cut power, depending which way you shoft
Good Lord, guys making it out like Im going in sideways, Fast & Furious style. LOL. Im being generous with the throttle through a right turn as the car upshifts. Sometimes I let the auto do it, sometimes I use the paddles. All I was syaing is Im simply USED to having the paddles come with me on the wheel when I turn. Itd be awkward for me NOT to have them turn but Im sure id get used to it. No where near as much fun as a manual though, paddles, no paddles.

i'm confused how someone can miss these paddles. we seriously have one of the largest sets of paddles and can be hit easily from many positions.....even while turning.

and they are the same as the GT-R's

In about 20yrs there will be autopilot vs manual driving threads. And of course autopilot will be better because its faster!!!
