How Often Do You Use Your Paddle Shift by yourgistpartner: 7:52pm On Jul 23, 2020 |
Paddle shift is one technology that has come to stay, giving car owners the manual driving feel in an automatic style. It improves the ease to toggle from one gear to another As beautiful as this innovation is, most drivers rarely use it either because they do not know the importance or they ain't freaked about it. so I ask guys, how often do you use yours? let me hear your thoughts cc marpol

yourgistpartner: I even use the manual shift option on my automatic gear lever,not to talk of the "Lambo" styled paddle shift option should I encounter one... I'm freaked by it... |

yourgistpartner: Nice topic wrong demographics, look around you, how many medium to high-end sports car do you see in Nigeria? how many youths in Nigeria can afford their dream car? how many recent models of cars are available on Nigerian roads? Some people have not even entered a car with paddle shifters, so my brother as long as Camry 4cylinder and Corolla rain supreme in Nigeria, leave paddle shifters alone and start talking about fuel economy 21 Likes 2 Shares |

It doesn't have to be an high-end sport car. A friend has been using Lexus IS250 for about 2 years but never paddle shifted. And 1st time i used his car, i did. I think it's lack of information. Just like majority of car owners in Nigeria never used cruise control. |

olumzzz: At the bolded you're right..... But I can't drive on the highway without using Cruise control and Over drive. |

seanfer:Me too o. Introduced my friends to it, now they are addicted. It's so exciting, especially when the car has to shift gears and accelerate more on its own maybe to climb a hill |

Re: How Often Do You Use Your Paddle Shift by Lexusgs430: 5:39pm On Jul 25, 2020 |
hoodboy: That's interesting....... Was it a straight forward plug and play |
Re: How Often Do You Use Your Paddle Shift by hoodboy(m): 5:42pm On Jul 25, 2020 |
Lexusgs430: Plug, code and play. Have to activate the paddles with VCDS. But the multifunction buttons worked straight after swap |

karo93:Let's start with a picture of your steering wheel |
Re: How Often Do You Use Your Paddle Shift by nurey(m): 7:58am On Jul 26, 2020 |
kingreign: Funny, how many 2015 Corolla do you see on the road, now to top it up how many sport models are available on the road? As far back as 2010 I have driven Audi S6 with paddle shift, didn't use it anyway who paddle shift eepp |
Re: How Often Do You Use Your Paddle Shift by kingreign(m): 7:59am On Jul 26, 2020 |
nurey:Funny enough, a corolla 2015 is a very very common sight in most cities of Nigeria. Just this morning alone, I've seen over 5 units of them. |
Re: How Often Do You Use Your Paddle Shift by 9icetoo(m): 9:20am On Jul 26, 2020 |
nurey:2007 honda city vtec has paddle shifters. Used it about twice since I owned the vehicle. Not really interested in the feature. Didn't buy an automatic to continue stressing my hands and brain. I let the auto do its thing. But that 2015 corolla is everywhere in Lagos na Nurey. I saw more than 10 yesterday and I was just in my neighbourhood. 1 Like |

Re: How Often Do You Use Your Paddle Shift by nurey(m): 9:22am On Jul 26, 2020 |
9icetoo: Yes they are the south African model they don't have paddle shifter |
Re: How Often Do You Use Your Paddle Shift by kingreign(m): 9:23am On Jul 26, 2020 |
nurey:Fortunately or unfortunately, in Uyo, Eket, they're common sight, in PH also, in Kaduna, Kano, they're common. The ones I saw are S and LE today. Leave matter. |

kingreign:Ehmm. I didnt put it to mind but if i recollect, since Monday this week to today Sunday, i can only remember seeing one. Maybe, it could be more since i wasn't consciously looking for one or maybe cos i live in a village |
