Almost drove this Hyundai off a fucking cliff.

Was playing Tetris with my girlfriend's family cars so we could get the nephews and nieces to tennis camp or whatever





We're on an edge of a cliff, I step out of an MB to move the Sonata. I get in the car, nudge the shifter down and HOLY SHIT...







In their INFINITE wisdom, Hyundai is the only brand where flicking the shifter DOWN puts the car in reverse and not drive. Every MB, pickup truck, GM EV, Tesla, wahtever.

Thing is, I LIKE rotary, push button, and column shifters - there's a benefit in ease of use esp in when driving in traffic without auto hold (looking at you Stellantis).

But THIS shit? This is the first car I've filed an NHTSA complaint on
