Parallel parking would be really frustrating with the push button shifter. If you live in urban areas or work there, parallel parking is a necessity.

Parallel parking is a nuisance with this setup. You're constantly looking for the right button, don't forget to hold the brake pedal or the gear won't engage

Just like anything, just takes a little getting used to. Got my Accord Touring, and had to learn all this Beat way to describe it, learningto type on a keyboard, where it takes awhile to learn where all the letters are. But eventually you do, and its 2nd nature. Now I can do it without looking, especially parallel parking. And actually, its a little easier. Your hand is right there just using it like a control panel on an elevator.

I can kinda see that someone doesn't want to be late to the technology party, but maybe improve the software/hardware on the display interface first. Honda always seems to be a year or three behind the others. If Hyundai/Kia can produce fast, modern looking systems, so could Honda/Acura. BTW, I used a push button shifter, albeit mechanical, on my 1963 Imperial. Was supposed to be better because it was "modern", but was just different, slower, and more awkward to use.

Steering wheels turn the same direction, front means front, no up or down. No wheel shifting sideways, rubber tires, not tracks, roads to run on, and directions. Quit making mountains out of Mole hills! Go back to your bike 🚴 until you’re ready for the big challenges of a luxury vehicle. No one ever cares what you can’t do or won’t do. Your value is in what you can do, and how well you can do it! A luxury vehicle shouldn’t be above your abilities to operate! Enjoy life, quit fighting it!

The fact that you can’t get it into neutral to tow it without it running is asinine. Edit: after more research I found some info on the override he’s talking about under the hood, but it’s difficult to access on some models and you apparently need a special tool to hold it in N while winching the car. Bottom line, most tow drivers are dragging your Honda up the flatbed if it won’t run. Good job Honda….absolutely stupid.

Recently test drove and had heart set on beautiful 2016 MDX. The 3 recalls had been addressed; vehicles has hundreds of technical service bulletins. Told Honda could not run diagnostics, only ACURA Dealer could run diagnostics/computer on new MDXs. We drove many extra miles thru heavy traffic. During test drive with electronic shifter, when pressing gas pedal, car repeatedly hesitated before moving forward. Acura ran diagnostics and reported all was up to date and okay. Decided too much electronic stuff to break and have $$$ repairs. Decided not to buy the car. As an alternative, I wanted to consider a new Honda, but am dismayed this same electronic button transmission is on every one. :(

Seem like a bad place to put s shifter right next to your drinks. I even if you are careful , drink will find a way to spill into that switch.

Bro I don't care how many knobs and buttons it takes to shift gears that doesn't make the car a Tesla. Your car still needs to have a lever pushed round to make a gearbox convert inefficient internal combustion power to an even more inefficient drivetrain. These shifters are just flashy nonsense gimmicks to make you think you're buying a quality product and not the same rebranded product from yesteryear.

An electronic shifter is a completely unnecessary technology in a car that is more likely to malfunction due to electric failure. I'm getting an Accord with a manual transmission instead. No criticism on the video. It was informative and well presented.

Did you get your Accord yet? I got the Sport T 2.0 6-speed for security, no one knows how/wants to learn to drive them anymore. No one will ask to borrow it! Paddle shifters on automatics are so lame. Traditional manuals can be push started if their battery dies but I'm wondering how that would work on a push-button startup arrangement. My Accord has a push-button start. Hoping someone can answer this question. TIA

Naysayers don't realize that every negative they imagine applies to a lever shifter as well. All it does, is "press" an internal button when you move the lever. And it can't change the positions automatically. And it is trivial to use. The D button is easy to find by touch. For reverse, just drag your hand down the array. When your finger falls in the trigger hole, pull the trigger.

Button shifters force people how to learn all over again-- who needs that headache. If coffee is spilled on them or an animal or child pushes it during a drive, it will completely eff up the transmission. If the buttons stick in cold weather or stop working, there's no manually starting this laptop disguised as a car. And, they wear out fast, after just a couple of years, the buttons are dunzo. Just like their 2017 screens for changing Sirius channels on the radio: Honda brought back the knob. Just knock off this "button" crap-- it's causing accidents and p*ssing people off.

Great overview of electronic shifters Drew. It is super easy for me to use the Honda e-shifter in the 10th generation Accord 10 speed. Brake hold is easy to get used to as well. E-shifter gets my vote because I prefer extra console space over shifting manually. I ❤ that extra storage nook under the RDX e-shifter. Perfect for a small handbag/purse;as a women I want my purse close but out of the way. 😄 99.9K!!! Lets just say ya'll hit 100K already! 🎉Congrats gentlemen!!!🎉 You deserve it!! Keep the great CC production videos coming!

Me too, after researching new vehicles of all makes and models. I noticed newer cars and SUV's are equipped with new electronic push buttons. Remember back in 2014 when first modern CVT transmissions started to pop up. Rather we like it or not electronic push buttons are the way of the future.
