It is very good and very quick, especially in "Sports mode". You can set the gear change time as well, so if you want it really smooth set it to one bar and really quick you set it on 5 bars. And then anything in between. Using the sequential stick does certainlt keep you feeling invoved in the drive too.

The ONLY downside is when in traffic, the change down from 2nd to 1st can take it's time, which can leave you a bit grasping for a gear but apart from that it really is good.

The paddles are great on motorways.

No problem matey, whenever you fancy taking it for a spin just give me a shout.
