fine in a straight line, not really great if you want to shift round the twisties.

if it's just stuck on i can imagine they'd fall off on a hot day or a few uses. I was thinking they'd maybe slot over the bottom and then some adhesive.

Don't have that issue when holding the wheel at 9 and 3

I drive a manual so I'll ask the question, don't the paddles rotate with the steering wheel?

I've only ever driven a car that didnt have rotating paddles and it sucked for cornering. It was an amarok though

they do and often my hands are not where the paddles are. longer paddles (as seen in many sports cars) alleviate this somewhat, my hands aren't glued to where the paddles live.

Yes I have noticed this when cornering sharp having trouble to change gears with paddles

This is me, I have a couple of cars with paddles and use the 9 and 3 position even when cornering and don't have any problems as they are always at my finger tips.

I can't think of any times I change mid corner anyway unless I change down to flick the arse out and I'm too old for that anyway.

If I need to full lock the wheel while manoeuvring I'm usually going too slow to change.
