While in A7 mode and approaching a hill, use the paddle to downshift 1 gear. The 4 mode will switch to 8 immediately. The paddles are a great driving tool even when the gear selector is in full auto mode. Use the left paddle to downshift progressively coming into a stop with track exhaust turned on - who-hoo what a sound. Approaching a stop or fast turn, hold the downshift paddle for 2 seconds and the tranny moves to the lowest gear possible for that speed. Again - what a thrilling sound and feel. Hold the upshift paddle for 2 seconds and the tranny returns to full auto mode. Lots to play with there and adds to the JOY of driving the A8.
