So double-clutch means automatic?
The few times I have used it was not with the paddles but the stick control forward to down shift and backwards to up shift which is like a motor cycle, as I said on the road you are going too damned quick and in license losing territory after 10 seconds, the auto change can be annoying switching up or down in corners when I would prefer not to.My wife's Altima 3.5 had the paddles, but I don't think we have used them once. Then again, I don't think we have raced too many people in an Altima
The courtesy car was manual everything so I tried pulling off with the hand brake on, .....when it was dark I drove around with no lights for ten minutes because the people testing the lights for the check had turned the lights to manual.
These auto gizmos are great but you get used to them way too quickly.
Sure, it takes a while for things to filter down. However if you only hve paddles it is a real dogs dinner, I saw a test on Ferrari tht only had paddles for forward gears and a button for reverse, doing a three point turn was like sitting an examination.Aren't those paddles in formula 1 race cars and have been for a while?
