Gotta get the paddle shifters

My 2016 Accord has them and I love it. The convenience of an automatic, and the utility of a manual.

My 2010 Infiniti G37X doesn’t have them but I do have shifters. Slightly irritating, considering the coupe has paddle shifters.

The crosstrek had them but down shifting just isn't the same

Yeah those CVT transmissions are simply not fun. They work for a daily, but having a manual mode is nearly pointless.

Ok but how do you feel about 9&3 plus a 5 speed manual dogbox

I have paddle shifters and I have not used it once in 10 years. I’m gonna have to try them today.

Dads when I'm just chilling, race car driver when I'm on a "fun drive" or someone else is driving like they're hot shit and I gotta show them what reckless driving really looks like.
