I don't get it. All these joystick gear selectors work the same. Push and hold a button and move it to the setting you want. What is unintuitive and annoying about this?

- izacus 4y agoAh sorry, the 1 series I just drove also had an "unlock" button on the left side so you had to hold it in a rather unnatural way to get it to move around. And the separate "P" button is also something that kept throwing me off. In comparison, Mazda I drove had much much simpler approach - grab the stick, push it all the way forward for Park, push it all the way back for Drive. That's it. The "unlock" button was under the index finger so you just grabbed it naturally. (In general, Mazda felt much better thought out inside than VWs, BMWs and MBs I drove.)
