So is the paddle shifters usable lol? Like using it everday instead of driving just automatic? I drove this morning n instead of downshifting to slowdown... I braked but if the traffic breaks a bit too hard I braked n downshifted.

 

This is true but I would rather have the wear and tear on the brakes than on the engine and transmission. Of course downshift when needed to stay in powerband, especially accelerating around curves, up hills, down hills, etc. but I don't see the point in downshifting just to routinely stop the car. I do the opposite, let the engine stay in higher gear and coast the longest I can before completing my stops with the brakes. This minimizes the most possible wear and tear and gives you the best mpg also, only negative comes from the irate cars behind wanting you to race up to the red light and stop. To them I just smile and wave. I grew a thick skin to ignorant people a long time ago.

Yeah, that's the idea.
