The column shifter takes a bit getting used to, but after driving for about a month or so, I find it even more efficent (in some ways) than a traditional gear coz you can change gears quite quickly between D and R just like giving an indicator. The major downside is that I've yet to correct my muscle memory for a different vehicle, as I can sometimes turn indictator on in my other car while trying to put in gear lol.
As for high-beam, all light controls are now in the screen with exception of high beam / dipper which continues to be in the same stick as wiper controls.
