Hey guys,
Thanks for the warm welcome in the newbie section, I can see this is a great forum! I have some queries about DuoSelect as I can't quite work it out from what I've read. So if I have it right, you can choose between a traditional automatic mode, and then a semi automatic flappy-paddle mode. Is that right? I've read many complaints about the harshness of the gear changes in auto mode, and some have described it as sluggish and dim-witted. However I haven't heard much about flappy-paddle mode at all, but the snippets I have seen have indicated that it's much crisper and quicker just a little involved to drive with.
So can anyone give me their experiences and opinions? Do you prefer one mode over the other? Do you share are of the gripes or do you disagree with them? What's it like around town with the paddle shift, especially when parking or in traffic?
I tried a search but there were a lot of results to sift through, sorry if this has been done to death already ! I've only even driven manual so I don't have much a frame of reference.
Cheers,
Will.
