Easy fix for that. One doesn't shift during a turn. You shift before or after but never during.

Driving around town this morning using mine and listening to my exhaust I say, Yes it has a real use, it makes me smile.

The only things really made for tapping are beer kegs and tang

Not necessarily a rule of thumb... if I had to find one complaint about the tapshift, it would be that when I am shifting on the of the very tight and winding roads in my mountain area (some turns will take 270 degrees of wheel, whether taking it fast or taking it slow), and if I'm wanting to shift during that turn--- during which slopes and road angles do change--- it's difficult to follow the right button around the wheel. I COULD shift only before or after the turn... but then I'd be running in the wrong gear through half of it.

I don't know why people think you can't shift in a turn, these are not manuals where you are loading and unloading your drive train. They shift through turns when in "D" or "S" so why not with tapshift.

I think they are talking about the shifters being on the steering wheel that when going through a turn it can be difficult to find the correct paddle to shift with.

I see a lot of these comments from the manual guys, I don't think they are referring to ease of access to the buttons.

when you are in third and come to a stop without downshifting, it defaults to second gear and does rev match by itself depending on how fast you come to a stop. not sure if it will rev match on its own in higher gears or if nannies off and competition mode affects that. if you try to downshift to a lower gear that will overrev the engine the dash will display shift denied. I use CFDs pistolgrip shifter for 99% driving. the fsctory tapshifts shouldve been column mounted like ferrari, only usefull going in a straight line.

I guess they are just giving their opinion.

not good for curves where you want to focus on the road and not having to look at the steering wheel everytime you shift. if they were on the column you can shift with eyes on the road without worrying about a wrong shift. same applies to CFD shifter. always in same place and can use it while eyes focused on road.
