I went for a nice drive with Wife this morning on a nice rural semi twisty route 18 in my neck of woods. Left car in automatic for way out, to let her feel normal, and it was a nice windows down breezy roll. Then on way back I used the paddleshifters, downshifting to peak power up out of tight hill turns and put some acceleration in here and there... bottom line, just plain fun. It is perfect for me. This car is fun to drive in with either transmission.
The one thing I have noticed several times is in a tight turn, can not use paddleshifters, must use the shifter in first to second and maybe to 3rd depending on grade and radius. No big deal
