Personally, I found using 'paddles' very intuitive... it took 'seconds' to learn.
Same brain pattern... thinking of changing up or down, pull the right or left paddle.
Good fun... makes the most of an 'auto'... but still not as 'satisfying' as 'stirring the pudding' whilst tap dancing!
Depends how fast you can stir and tap I guess
With the Plus 6 in Manual and maybe Sport Mode you can still have the driver interface with paddle's, assuming you don't want to have auto changes at the redline. TBH in a straight line on open road I found I was just going through the motions with the paddle's rather than using them to any effect, and leaving this very light car in Drive, as others have suggested, would be just as effective. The fun would start on the twisty bits though especially given the auto blip when commanding down changes, which simply couldn't be replicated as quickly with your feet.
