How to properly paddle shift.
I just bought a 3IS 350 Fsport and I'm not very experienced with paddle shifters. So if anyone on here knows or is an experienced person with this can help me out thanks I usually just shift when almost to redline I don't want to mess up my engine by doing it all wrong thanks for the help.

Then when you do want to have the occasional fun, engage the heavier foot , take the revs higher, and shift.

Have you driven stick before? If you have, then drive it the same. If you haven't, then either learn stick and mimic or don't use it IMHO.
There really is no difference other than no clutch and some automation to make it dummy proof so you won't blow it (engine) or damage it long term.
good luck.

Is there anyone who uses the paddles to shift most of the time?
I mostly paddle shift in my current car (with dual clutch) and switch to auto during heavy traffic or for hard launches from a stop.
I wish the IS350 F had stick shift. If it did, I probably would already own one.

S mode - controls the engine and transmission
S+ mode - controls the steering and suspension
D driving mode - car shifts into gears for you
M driving mode - you shift into gears manually (with some caveats)
That is as clear as I can make it.

The AVS is activated by the S+ mode NOT the manual shifting mode.
S mode - controls the engine and transmission
S+ mode - controls the steering and suspension
D driving mode - car shifts into gears for you
M driving mode - you shift into gears manually (with some caveats)

You go into Sport mode by turning the dial, and into manual mode with the shifter on the console. Two different controls. I don't see why you wouldn't able to be both in sport mode and paddle shifting - but I don't own the car yet so I may be off base.
