So, Ive had my MR touring for about a month now, and having a hard time getting used to the paddles. I do love the trans, and shifting on the floor is cool, but I have a hard time remembering that pulling on the left side paddle downshifts. It just seems counter intuitive for me. It seems like pulling should shift up, and pushing will shift down.
So, Im watching the WRC, and I notice that those rally cars have excatly what I think would be the perfect setup. A paddle just on one side, you pull to upshift, and push the same paddle to down shift.
Maybe its the motorcycle rider in me?
I think that would be a very cool mod for these MR's, dont you think? A big carbon fiber paddel on the right side.
Here is a picture I captured about what I am talking about.
