Problem with buttons is that, unless you design things carefully it might be too easy to press the wrong button and go the wrong way. Newer Hondas do come with button shifters that seem to be well thought out. It's hard to describe in words, but every button has a distinct deliberate and intuitive action such that you're unlikely to shift to the wrong gear: - Can shift to P or R iff the brake is pressed. - R is a pull-type button which is different from all other gear buttons. - N is, well, an unremarkable button. - D is at the bottom in a separate recess.
