Thanks, that made my day. 
And yes you are supposed to downshift before the turn like you do a with proper manual gearbox, like Jeremy Clarkson would say. Brake, downshift, enter the turn, and apply the gas throughout the turn.
If you into video games you practice this technique. All paddle-shifter and the even DSG gearbox remind me of the days I used to play Grand Turismo.

Well, I think what you mean is you are supposed to downshift before the turn to a low gear and accelerate out of the turn. There are plenty of turns on the road and track I have had to take in 2nd or 3rd gear and found myself needing to shift while having the wheel turned coming out of the turn.
It's not a bad gearbox, you just need to get used to it. No go out and pick up a use copy of Grand Turismo.

I wonder if the response time with the paddle shifters on 7AT is faster than the response time on 5AT because from my experience the paddle shifters react so slowly to a gear change that I find them useless and would rather shift with the console shifter.
