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!
I must admit, I almost became a paddle shifter fan while driving a Porsche Macan S recently, super precise, fast and fun...but I noticed one "little" down side: Shifting while turning (steering wheel angle + 60°) feels odd, almost "dangerous". But it might just be me.
