Those with AT, what do you use for MT mode?

For spirited straight line driving or highway overtaking I always use the paddles, it helps that you don't actually need to put it into manual mode to use them. Being able to have both hands on the wheel while paddle shifting is a plus.

On the rare occasion when I use manual mode around bending town streets I would use the shifter, only because the paddles are not actually connected to the steering wheel itself, therefore the paddles remain stationary when turning and you can't always comfortably reach them. Unless of course you always downshift to the appropriate gear before approaching a bend, so it wouldn't really matter.

When just cruising I'm always in "D"
