Paddle shifters to close to the wheel??

Does anyone else think the paddle shifters are a little too close to the back of the wheel???...they work great....just they seem a tad close, esp if you are used to holding the wheel at 10 o'clock...I know, random thread, just want a few opinions

I've always thought this too. It was a really big problem out on the track. I accidentally clicked it to upshift atleast 3..4 times. But during daily driving, i never had this problem.

never had any peoblems i think they are in the perfect position for how the car is setup...no problems what so ever..i guess you can't please everyone..never though a q like this would come up though... i do see what you are saying but i always have my fingers there on the paddles at 10 and 2...if i want to cruise i hole it with one hand at 5 or 12...but when i am using the paddles it's 10 and 2 90% of the time...and since i use the paddles 90% of the time i have no issues
