I wish that the gear you are in would also show in addition to "D" when in drive. That would allow better use of paddles especially for downshifts when you want to get into the torque band.

The trick to using the paddles when doing sharp turns where the paddles may be out of position is to upshift early before you start to turn. 1rst gear is really probably lower than it needs to for the engine(uses a lot of fuel), whereas the engine can pull easily in 2nd.
