The only autos I've ever driven were family cars and yea I hated them. For the ones I drove, when it shifted was based on how much I was on the gas pedal. Putting my foot to the ground to try and switch lanes would make the car chug along for a second before dropping a gear and suddenly being in the upper RPMs. Same idea as manually dropping a gear for acceleration, except you didnt know exactly when that drop was going to happen.

Have fun with the paddles. The car will probably develop other issues in old age before the transmission dies from paddle usage.
for sure, i was just so uneasy after using my paddles but now I'll use them My FRS has just below 40k on it, hoping it will make it to 120k at the least. It's being daily driven so i don't plan on doing anything too crazy to it
