Do you prefer using the buttons then? I could probably have lived with them if they were the correct way round, but as they're arse about face I found myself shifting the wrong way when really on it. I can see how you could get used to them though if you'd got no idea about how paddles work in every other car though.
Horses for courses, if we all liked the same thing it would be boring...
I don't like paddles or buttons, I guess I just prefer the feel of a knob in my hand and being in control....
