I understand where you are coming from and share the same opinion of a true driver car (Porsche 911R fan here)

Please take one paddle shiffter equipped car for a weekend and go furious with it. I promise you'll appreciate how precise, fail-proof and convenient it is. You can also poke your nose in moving traffic when ppl are staring at ya (auto mode!)

Seriously, and with all the paddles that I've tried (got them myself), I didn't find any down sides that could impact my decision in buying the same. The thing just works, prevents gear wear and bye bye to clutch change$

Worth a try, for a weekend, dearest drivers!
