There was a true sequential manual in the MR2 Spyder for 2004-2005 (maybe just 2005, can't remember). Of course this only had to hold about 137hp. Not sure on the shifting times on this either... I'll see if I can find something.
I like the paddles, I use them frequently although not as much as I thought I would.... anticipate the shift...
I don't think it takes much longer to shift than a true manual, except it seems like longer since your hands and feet aren't doing the actual work. Here it's just click, where in a true manual it's disengage clutch/shift/engage clutch (give or take depending on your driving style).
