I see what you're saying - but in that case I tap the paddle up a couple gears

and get the car back in fuel saving mode, then the car takes over more quickly.

But I admit taking a hand off the steering wheel doesn't concern me as much, since I had manual transmission cars even through all my Philly/NYC/Chicago years.. in L.A it is easier though.

Yes, that's how it's done on the A3.

It was noted on the window sticker..i guess you can't use paddles with warm hands!

I stand corrected....New Order Guide now shows paddle shifters N/A with Cold Weather Pkg...

...Just (2ZM) Heated 4-Spoke Multi-Function Steering Wheel (w/o Paddles).

Doesn't make sense, since my A8 has heated steering wheel w/paddles. Go figure!
