That being said - does anyone with an AT use the shift nob while it is in manual mode to shift? I know that it's not quite the same as a manual seeing as there is no clutch, and you simply move the knob either up or down to upshift or downshift respectively, but I still find it to be a lot more engaging than using the paddle shifters when I'm not driving it in auto.

I use the shifter quite a bit. I've never been too fond of where they stick the paddle shifters on most cars. My old MKV GTI had paddles as well and I rarely touched them. I don't drive in the "10 and 2 O'clock" position so it's very counter intuitive for me to use the paddles. I'm more of a "8 and 4 O'clock" position driver.
