potential evo buyer - concern over paddle shifters
hey whats up im new here i just test drove an evo x a couple days ago, what a great car but im a little concerned that the paddle shifters are not on the steering wheel and are in a fixed position behind it - what if you are in the middle of a turn and want to change gears? has anybody had a problem with this or is that way for a reason? aside from no true ipod integration which im willing to live with, this paddle issue is really the only thing holding me back - any info/comments/advice is appreciated

From what I learned while riding a motorcycle which I think should apply to cars as well is that shifting should be done before or after a turn. You do not want to unsettle the car during a turn, it should be nice and smooth.

Changing gears whilst turning in a corner = fail.
Before or after, Not during.
If that's happening when your driving, your not doing it right.

If it is that important to you to shift while turning (though like everyone else said, not advised), a vender on here has a conversion kit that is mounted to the steering wheel not the column. I for the life of me can't remember who has it though. Good luck either way.

+1 for the MR its a great DD, the padle shifters can still be used while turning, and if in doubt 1 hand wheel, 1 hand on the shifter knob its just as easy either way tho.
GSR for those who cant afford the MRT :P
just playin
