By VX, I assume you mean, XV, heh (I too am having a hard time getting used to VX and XV). Yes, the XV has paddles. I use them religiously in traffic. Sadly, being CVT, and the "gearing" being, well, hardly gearing, down shifting in traffic is hardly down shifting. So, I have become one of those brake light zombies.

But, it's more comfortable in any case and actually quite a nice ride. I am pleasantly surprised. Recently put on the roof rails/cross bars, hood deflector, moon roof deflector, side window deflectors, PIAA hi/lo bulbs, and painted body side molding.

A little irked that Murica was the only forsaken place on this planet that could not get the XV with HID headlamps. WTF!!!

And my search for a new wheel/tire combo with lifted Forester springs has already begun.
