The power past 100 is quite good....so I've heard...and uhh...seen on YouTube. Regarding the paddles, it's not much a complaint but just something a little odd. Basically to use them, your fingers go up versus straight back from the 3 and 9 position. Since there are controls right behind those same positions, I understand why they are smaller. Just having them extended a touch back from the wheel and longer may work. I can see how they could be easily hit though is doing any hand over hand wheel motions.

Traveling to and from work is kind of funny in the car. I see an open spot on the highway, breathe on the throttle and she kicks down and scoots immediately. Too much fun.
