I am a big honda fan and generally, this looks much nicer than I expected but they still use a very cheap back up camera (quality looks bad) and no 360 degree camera either. I had an odyssey with the same type of gear shifter but I really wish they had an actual handle. The exterior looks nice (black edition wheels, grill, etc). Interior storage and door storage is great but they really need to modernize the driver info display and infotainment like hyundai and kia.
I recently got this exact vehicle. It had everything I wanted, so I was willing to overlook the dumb gear shift. Well, it literally took me 1 day to get used to it. It's logically placed where your hand rests when your arm is on the armrest. Can't say I love it, but it ain't bad at all.
