When the gearbox is cold it doesn't like shifting as much so I coax it a bit with the buttons but it's kind of annoying.

Maybe the latest Porsche iteration is a little better though.

I can definitely see the McLaren paddles being fun to operate based on the video reviews, those shifts seem like there's zero latency.

If you get a PDK, would you just leave it in auto at the track? It can shift mid-corner just fine I think.
