The good thing I see from paddle shifters are traffic. If you're falling asleep behind the wheel.. switching to AT wouldn't be so bad. Or those who have leg cramps or leg problems in general.

Long drives in traffic with leg cramps is the worst thing


I gotta say I drove both a F430 Scuderia and a Lamborghini Gallardo both with paddle shifters when I was in Vegas on their track and while it was really cool to use the paddle shifters and awesome driving cars I'll never own I can't say I enjoyed or felt connected to the car at all as oppose to driving around in a S2K shifting through the gears yourself

then again I could use be one of "those people" who believe in the stick
