I love using the paddles when I’m on some nice backroads. Do you guys like using your paddleshifters in your car?
This has nothing to do with paddles but, what do you think of the Fi, Armytrix Exhaust systems?
Of corse so much fun 🤩
I got them on my Mercedes C300 and didn't even use them for 2 years. Then I saw the light. Makes driving so much more fun. More so downshifting because now you can brake with the engine and make a lot of noise coming to a stop. Good times....
Hey do you tear the film on your screen away? Mine got bubble pop so I took it off and not sure if this will influence manufacturer warranty or not
I would learn and do it for regular daily drive. I drive in sport mode all the time it’s fun. I have a mini countryman
Nice I can now drive my non-existent car
Go to your dealer and take a "test drive"
Relax homie…you not alone
Try a racing wheel on a pc or game system! Next best thing Even a basic setup.
😢
Very nice and to the point video sir! Just purchased two honda Passports, one for me and one for the wife.
Both have paddles and neither of us has ever used such a option. I know wife will never use hers but after watching your video I will give it a go.
I bet not many use this feature.
Hey thanks! Congrats on your purchases. Use the paddles, it’s fun!!
@@yaboibakalli i mean not in a honda passport its probably gonna be laggy as hell and take way too long to be much fun. Just my experience in hondas. Vw golfs were the only economy car that had decent ones so far.
I've been looking for this video, thanks! I've been seeing an increase on paddle shifters on the automatic cars I've been looking at (as an automatic-only driver) and was curious on how/when to use them without any manual driving knowledge. This was super helpful!
You are very good in your work, sir. Really appreciate your explanation and time to teach us manual drivers..
Thabks man. Best explanation on youtube. Been looking for about an hour
super informative and detailed, just bought a mercedes c class and wasn’t sure how to use paddle shifters
I subscribed without even starting the vid, already knew it was gon be good
Very informative lesson on using paddle shifters. I do not know how to drive a manual, so your presentation helped me understand how paddle shifting on an automatic simulates a manual.
Thanks mah men . I will try it on my 2022 honda HRV. hehe
Very informative, also great point on the engine breaking - i’ve always thought the same and assumed it was common sense
With manual shifts one should break and reduce shifts, in order to efficiently and safely reduce speed. So, paddle shifters should be the same.
Great video and very informative, I am thinking of purchasing a Mercedes with paddle shifters but always had a manual car so this would be a whole new drive for me.
To be honest I’m a little anxious as and when I purchase with paddle shifters, would love a bit of feed back just to put my mind at ease.
Thanks 🙂
Also, don’t use Race Start more than a few times a year (only when the trans. & engine are up to temp).
And most importantly, don’t downshift until the RPMs for the gear you’re in are lower than 2500
I am not entirely sure but i believe most new automatics will rev match for you so tbis shouldnt be a big problem
complete bullshit
Amg engine can handle all of that.
Great video mate! Considering all the bad rap it gets sound wise those shifts actually sound quite tasty!
I have a c43 and I've been wondering if my car sounds as good from the outside as it does from the inside
Thank you! This is the best how to video ever
i drive a 2021 cla 35 with a catless down-pipe, cold air intake, Tuned by HD and i love the backfire/shots i get from up and downshifting
I'm driving manual gearbox cars for over 30 years and engine breaking is great way to slow your car. Better control, less wear on the breaks and less fuel. Hit the breaks on snow or ice and you are out of control.
As a Nyer you gotta learn to stop lmfaooo we ride on ice with bald tires and can still brake stop. On my amg I’d rather replace all my pads for 200-400 than a 8-10k engine and tranny
Just a question : do you gone do a motorway POV video?
Hey man, love your car. Im hoping to buy one myself in the future and was wondering what the colour on yours was called. It looks perfect imo.
so in manual car I could rev match and send from 6 gear to 3rd gear instantly and fly out. can I do that in an automatic paddle shift?
I just got my CLA 45 yesterday! I have yet to use the paddles, thanks for the great tutorial
Can’t wait to get mine
@@lile1912 it’s such a sick car, especially with all the crackles and pops 🤪 What color and spec are you getting?
@@Kevin_2442 black, aerodynamic package and amg performance
please send me some vids of your car 🔥🔥
Ur cla45 looks nice, enjoyed the short vid :D
at some point you're saying _power shifters_ instead of _paddle shifters_ ?
good opinions there, i'll try to use them and gain confidence in using them, thanks!
Absolutely great video!
The best sound is not important..save driving is!
So I need to put it at m1 to get into manual mode? I only drove standard never automatic so not sure. But think that’s what you said
Love your videos bro, you should be much bigger than you are right now, keep grinding bro!
I’m currently waiting to get my license in August, thinking about leasing the benz cla amg line or the glc coupe amg line, what do you think of those?
i got a cal 250 amg line. Beautiful car and i would recommend it. Its performance isnt even too bad. I get around a 5.4-5.6 0-60 and a 13.7ish quarter mile
I learned to drive on a stick shift, but paddle shifters intimidate me. I feel like I need the clutch to ensure I'm doing things the correct way. I will likely not use the paddle shifters without the comfort of the clutch pedal.
Same! I drove a standard car for 9 years and ride a Ducati m/c and the paddle shifters on my Mustang throw me right off. I’m going to give it another try.
Hahaha short video 😂 nice video man
Hi, quick question, when downshifting do you have to press/ hold the brakes when pressing the downshift button ?
You usually downshift to slowly slow down the vehicle. So you'd essentially have your foot off the accelerator and dont need to press on the brakes. It'll slow down on its own as long as you manage the shifting paddles correctly. If you really need to come to a full stop though its wise to just use the brake pedal as it's more efficient and safer for stopping at a faster rate.
That's a great video.
hey can what mods can i do on my cla 250 2020 for more hp? Also love the production quality in these videos!
Woo-hoo you gave me an excellent understanding paddle shifts BIG UP , is it ok to break and down shift same time?
Very good information if you are really excited to get your driving license soon
What type of vehicle and year it is it?
What car model do you have ?
In my 2020 c43 I have used Manual mode 99% of the time. I basically NEVER use automatic mode...
Same here with 2023 GR86 (:
When are you going to start your fiancial youtube account?
What happened to the glow in the dark attachments?
Great video
Love from Iran
thanks for this video!
Just shift with the soubd of your car like in a stick shift car. Different cars have different points where you get the best sounds. You do not have to hit redline to get the best sound.
What's the best way to overtake?
hi... TQ for sharing, a very informative vdo especially for people like me who is not well verse with pedal shifters.
just one question (please don't laugh)... how about the foot pedal, do we need to release the gas pedal (accelerator) like driving a fully manual transmission car when changing gear? so when chaging gear with pedal shifter, do the foot gas pedal need to be release?
thank you very much...
If you're driving a fully manual car yes you need to let go of the gas pedal when changing gears
With paddle shifters no
Paddles are my favourite and I learned on stick.
what benz is this?
Good to know, always wondered what the correct way to use this was
Would this option be okay to use going down mountains? I feel like my cla doesn’t engage in any hold back and my brakes feel warped by the time I’m at the bottom of the mountain. Our other cars & trucks have low & high modes for this.
Camera sorry for a question you probably get often
I just need to know how/when to time my downshifts when coming to a complete stop.(red light,stop sign,etc.) I love the sound but Idk if I’m doing it right and might be wearing my engine.
Did you ever get an answer to this?
do this for mini countryman please
I'm a fan of Mr Bakalli n ur videos are great although u keep breaking your car😂
I been wondering what filter this is guys
Will it effect engine oil
Ones you r in a stop does gear automatically comes to 1 or it stays in higher gear?
How do I launch /take off for a race
🖤cla
How do u get into N driving it manually???
Learn how to annoy everybody in the neighbouhood
Does it damage the transmission to keep the foot on the gas pedal while upshifting or downshifting? or viceversa, does it damages it to stop pressing the gas pedal while upshifting of downshifting?
The Engine and Transmission control units basically do all of that work for you, so you'd be at a performance loss. Especially true in Dual Clutch Transmissions where the next gears are already pre-"engaged"
How to make you display look like that
If I'm in manual mode and I'm using my brakes to slow down, will the car start shifting down for me automatically at some point?
idk about other brands but in a mercedes the car will downshift for you even in manual and in some cars it will upshift for you if you hit redline.
yes, dodge downshifts for you automatically when rpms get really low for the current gear, but doesnt upshift automatically, itll prevent you from hitting the redline but you’ll have to upshift manually
What state is this it's beautiful
Bro you do not need to introduce yourself each scene and explain what a paddleshifter is like youre talking to an alien, just make sure the the instructions are clear. But thx
Thanks for the tip
When you downshift do you still have to press the gas in or let your foot off?
You can do either. However, often when you downshift it's because you want to slow down the vehicle or anticipate wanting to slow down the vehicle very soon, for one reason or another. (Stoplight or traffic ahead, etc.) If that's the case, then yes, it's desirable for you to want to let your foot off the gas a bit anyway.
But it won't hurt the vehicle, either way, if your foot is still on the gas or if it is not, when you downshift.
What kinda car is this ? Is it a 4 or 6 cylinder engine?
Performance! Damn you're speaking to the public. Not a car club
If you want more pop and bang buy the w204 AMG version
Great video thanks for the tutorial. I had a random question about the alcantara steering wheel in your CLA45. I have the same steering wheel in my A35 and I'm starting to notice small white spots on it. I can see similar spots on yours and I was wondering if you knew what caused it, thanks !
Thanks! Yeah mine has had that since delivery! I initially thought it was mold but I think it’s because of humidity, sweat and just our hands touching the wheel constantly
Yep I thought it could be the same, thanks !
Engine breaking will do nothing to your engine nor to the gearbox. You should read before commenting.
You should post links before telling someone to go out into the world to find & read something that supports your point
much more convincing if he didn't wave his hands about like Andre Previn
Is that a Mercedes a class
I want to ask, how old are you?
sound
Im a shapeshifter…does that count
Try going up to 6-6500rpm and let ur gas go, surely makes it pop watch my video😆
Press down pedal on the steering wheel will go down a gear, press up pedal on the steering wheel will go up a gear, the higher rpm the more power you get per gear. Screen flashes red when you get into hig rev and you should shift up, but the car has over rev protection even in manual mode. There, saved you 10 minutes of your time
nah...
Fake engine noise sux
i think it's pathetic why not just let the car do the shifting
Because algorithms and computers will never know better than a human. The car can’t see that I need to remain at high RPMs to cut someone off within the next 10 seconds. There are so many reasons to drive manually, that I think you just trolling. No way you don’t see even 1 benefit. Maybe you haven’t driven a performance car
