I am only 5ft and have no problems locating the paddles.

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

Quick question about the paddle shifter.
Some say to just shift up while accelerating on the paddle shifter, and some say to release the accelerator pedal and shift up with the paddle shifter before accelerating again. (similar to maunal) Are both ways acceptable? Also, I realized that the car shifts down by itself when you slow down...found out the hard way a few weeks ago -_-

how long have you had the car now?

the car will downshift for you so it doesn't stall.

the car will not shift up for you....so don't blow your engine.

you can lift off and shift but WHY would you do that? it's part of the advantage of the AT. no lift shifts the ecu sorts it out so you never have to get off of the loud pedal and keep better RPM ranges when the car shifts.

I've had the car for a little under a year, but I don't drive it that much.
I know that I have to shift up haha
In my BMW, I had to downshift on the Manual mode when I would slow down.
I've never had a paddle shifter so thats why I was asking and wanting to know.

paddles work the same as the shifter.

I actually use the shifter itself when driving normal DD stuff and when going fast, drag strip, track, back roads, anytime when 2 hands on the wheel seems like a good idea I use the paddles.

Hey, so if youre in sport mode, going for gold, the AT will NOT upshift at WOT at redline? It bounces? Really?

No it will let you bounce off the rev limiter until you shift up.

It will down shift when forced to keep from stalling but at very low RPMs. On a track you must do it manually to attack corners or you will be in the wrong gear almost every turn.

Huh....I can hold mine at redline, but if I keep it planted it will upshift.

Yes. One of the best features! And one of the reasons i chose the z over a genesis and Is350 .

Also don't let off the gas when you up shift. We have a "no lift shift" :P haha
