I'd drive it.
rofl the paddle shifters are labeled wrong.
if you are used to driving a stick than that layout is much more intuitive. I have used both, and much prefer the up=down set up. ive also used the side to side in chryslers, and that just sucks. compare that with my wife, who has driven a manual very little, she finds the up=down set up to be confusing. she has that in her car, but still screws it up when she tries using it.

Visca Catalunya!
It doesn't feel natural having the forward motion to go up a gear, i've allways prefered the much more natural, back=up a gear and front=down a gear, everytime i pick up an A4 from a friend with a DSG i try to keep it in Drive, or use the wheel padles, if i use the shifter i make a lot of wrong imputs and even start thinking if i should press forward or back during braking or accelerating.
It should allways be move forward=down a gear, move back=up a gear, in the wheel padles, right for up a gear and left for down a gear.
BMW uses this method and probably all sequential gearboxes to. Race cars alike.
I never understood why would VAG do it any other way, even Porsche with the PDK, how miserable can you get! A 'normal' motion sequential in the race GT3 but a wrong motion one in the 911.
