Each option of gear-change has its merits. When I first bought the car - having never had any type of auto - I started in complete auto then began using the gearknob in manual. After a couple of months I've progressed to the paddles and generally don't look back. On B roads I find the paddles excellent and have no issues with most corners. Its when in tight spots in town the paddles are annoying as I feel I scream it in first gear until the wheel centres itself!
Why didn't they make the paddles turn with the wheel.............?!
