I heard Konami Code secretly activates reverse paddle shift.

I've probably carried this over from motorcycles, but it would never even occur to me to shift in a turn.

Same. Its actually one of the things that irks me whenever I drive an automatic car. Maybe it's just my girlfriends Civic, but it feels like any time I try to roll on throttle after the apex, the auto goes, "oh, you want to go faster? allow me to assist " and upshifts. Quick way to kill any semblance of fun I was having.

Does it have paddles? If so you found the right thread!

That's because you know how to ride/drive.
