How is it different? I know it's shift-by-wire, but doesn't it basically function the same way from the user's perspective?

Not a huge difference, it's just the flicking forward for reverse that you have to get used to and pay attention to. That and the park button.

I can see a first timer thinking they're in reverse but actually in drive, or pushing the selector forward and thinking they're in park but actually in neutral or reverse.

Interesting. I assumed they would simply make the layout mimic that of a traditional cable shifter. After all, the order could be anything since it's all digital.

It would have been nice to know about the shifter before I took my test drive. My huband got out and I went to get out the car wanted to go back. I thought it was in park. Good thing I am not a trusting soul or I may have ran over both of us.

Does it revert to Park, if you open the driver's door in gear?

Only if you unbuckle the seatbelt too (assuming it was latched).

Sounds quite logical!
