Glenmcp: Played with it a little, but do not have the need for it as full auto does a good job.
I've fooled around a little but since most of our roads are flat and straight it's just a LEO magnet. However, if I go north up to the twisty hilly roads I think they'll be used more there. They are nice & I think GM did a nice job with them. Much better than my C6 paddles.
I've used them just to try them out. I don't use them on a regular basis so far (only 1,800 miles though). One thing I'd like to see improved is the sound when using them. Hard to put my finger on it, but it needs to have a different sound when it 'clicks' to the next gear. It has a plastic sound that just doesn't fit this high-performance sports car in my opinion.
I'm breaking in my new C7 and since Drive puts me into 4th gear by 25 MPH, I never go over about 2000 RPM. So instead, I paddle shift fairly often to wind it up a little tighter (never over 4K yet) to vary my RPM more. I do like my shift points better than the computer, so it is a lot of fun. But, when I'm lazy, it goes back into Drive!
