You might want to delete this post and do a thorough search plus read Chevy's information on the subject, before you get flamed. Tons of topics on the subject, even in just the past several days. Check the C6 tech section too.

But to be polite and answer your questions:

1) Yes, some of us have paddle shift.

2) The difference, is that you can use the paddles to shift.

I have it. It's not a substitute for a manual. It is an improvement over the A4 in terms of gear ratios. It also gives you the option of shifting the car for yourself which can be both practical and more fun. It's a great option if you drive the car regularly, especially in traffic, or just don't want to or can't do the manual shifting.
