Hello all,

First, I'll start off by saying I've always been a Honda fan, and got into Audi since I previously owned an A4. However, after driving my '08 Mazda 3, I kind of fell in love...almost! Being a drummer, I had to have a hatchback to fit whichever kit I need for a show. It has plenty of room for that and handles very well. As for complaints:

1. I have a tiptronic auto. Is there any way to change the quickness of shifts?

2. Is there any way to put paddle shifters on the car?

Thanks for any help offered!
