Enjoyed driving her yesterday although those flappy things on the steering wheel are a bit of a nuisance and get in the way of my huge hands.2013 D4 HSE Luxe in Indus Silver

Regarding the paddles, are you actually useful???
I bought an auto to be an auto, never needing the need to manually change gear.

As well as coming in handy for overtaking the paddles work great when off road Cheers Ian

When you are going down hill and you want to slow the car by engine braking then they are invaluable!!!

Can you use the paddles when in "D" or do you have to be in "S" mode???

You can use them in D, and if you don't use them for so long it automatically goes back into D or if you hold the + paddle for a couple of seconds it will go back into D Cheers Ian
