mmmmm .
.....Steering shift padles
I disagree. You shouldn't have the capabilities to change a gear in a turn. You alter the power transfer by selecting a different ratio and can completely alter the vehicle's dynamic by doing this.Those should be on the wheel not the column.
It's a very competent car but details like that just show the jap manufacturers (except Mazda) are still missing the most important things when it comes to real sports cars.
That's a fine philosophy if you only race on tracks and streets that compliment your cars power band and gearing perfectly.I disagree. You shouldn't have the capabilities to change a gear in a turn. You alter the power transfer by selecting a different ratio and can completely alter the vehicle's dynamic by doing this.
Go out to a race track with your car and while hammering through a turn, reach down and throw a gear. Just by pushing the clutch in half turn, you'll feel your loss of control.
Down gear and brake before entering a turn, coast through and power out, up gearing and accelerating hard out of the turn. Not shift in the turn.
