Nah, you can leave it in auto.
The paddles are decent so long as you keep the RPMs up.
Once the RPMs fall below 1500 or so, the computer gets a mind of its own, and will down shift it when it feels like it - even ignoring you if you tell it to down shift SOONER than the computer wants to. My personal pet-peve...

That's like saying, there's more to skiing than holding ski-poles.
Yes, you can go down the mountain with only the skis, but it's just not the same without the poles.
You have to give a car time to know whether you like something or not.
When I got the GT-R, I thought : "hmm, no stick. I guess that's fine."
...
Which evolved into : "ugh, this is so lame. I miss the stick. I'm bored with this."
...
Which evolved into : "well, I'm 'getting over it', and the car makes a nice relax-cruiser in auto mode... I'll just let my 'old man inside' enjoy it."
Now I'm looking for a second car that'll be the fun one. Maybe a Lotus, s2000, miata, or NSX-T... or a kit car (caterham, murtaya, something like that) for after I'm done building my house and I have room to put it during assembly (if I don't built an airplane instead...).
