No paddle shift is meant for an Auto. It's a Rich mans Standard and it sounds better then just having an Automatic where you have no control whatsoever on the gears.

I don't know about the Honda automatics but a good thing about automatics in general is it will shift quicker than a manual tranny. Even a lightning fast shift with a manual sends you backward a couple/few feet.
On the other hand, hondamatics will sometimes shift at the most inopportune time. Imagine you’re hard into a corner, on the pedal and the thing up-shifts right at the apex. You'll need some kind of manual control over your automatic if you want to run faster than manual guys.

Yea, and some kind of automatic that isn't going to blow to smithereens when you give it any power

Not to mention the loss of gear control being that you only have 4 gears instead of 5. The automatic is 4 gears right? Correct me if i'm wrong.

automatic are 4 speed overdrive at least for the 96-98 civics but if you do have a paddleshifter make sure the tranny is a 5 speed tranny. cause a 4 speed paddleshifter is better than an auto but still not as much performance.
