Transmission switch gears with i-sihft

How to switch gears fast with i-shift. When i change gear in ~6000rpm it's very slowly. It's like waiting and then it goes again.

I'm still on the learning curve myself, but I think it's trying to be smooth. Up-shift takes a lot longer than down-shift. I've found that you can down-shift multiple gears at a time by clicking the paddle twice quickly - very useful for overtaking. I haven't been brave enough to try more than two clicks yet.

Click away.

The car won't change gear unless the revs are right for the gear you're asking for.

i considered getting the i shift with the "flappy paddle gear change" (as clarkson would say!) but i decided against for this exact reason -

How do people find it? is it responsive? slow? good? bad? etc etc

its very very good, its jerky at first but it settles down a lot and can be very very fun
