I have paddles for the ZF auto in my F31 which I use from time to time. Most of the time, however, I let the auto do what it does best, which is to change gear automatically, either in Comfort or Sport mode
If I had to use the paddles to get the auto box to function well most of the time, I wouldn't bother with it in the first place
Before I cross the Golf GTi off my list, I will test drove a manual but so far, it's been a disappointing experience
This is right on the money. I remember my DSG as a miserable trans. unless it was in manual mode. From that to my first DCT in my former 135i was night and day. PDK is on a whole other level, IMO.
