When do you actually look at the gear changer? You just get used to it? It's fairly intuitive, twist forward to go, backward to reverse. I have absolutely no problem finding it on mine, you will certainly get used to it. I find it much easier than the dial that used to be in the middle in my Sorento. I get what you say about the climate control, but tbh the only one I use is the screen and I can see that no problem.
I am definitely getting used to reaching for it now after a few more days. My ID4 has a similar design but it is easier to reach. Also it is the start/stop button that is hardest for me. I just have to reach down to get to it to stop the car. I love the car -- these are minor complaints.
Fair enough. I don't have an issue reaching it although I still do try and use the start stop button on the left where it was in my Sorento@@EVTipsAndTricks
100% agree with your first 3 points. Not deal breakers, but could be better. I don't mind the center console as it has lots of storage under it accessible from the 2nd row. I find I am able to store everything I need up front under the arm rest, down on the floor, in the driver's door, and in the glove box l. I don't mind the shiny buttons at all.
The thing that amazed me about the EV9 is, that it being a seriously big car (in European standards at least) my 1.90m (6.2ft) son does not fit on the backseat. How in the world can you build a moving house and not have enough headroom for, what in our standard is, a normal sized male? It prevented me from buying one.
Do you mean the middle row or the third row? The third row is tight. The second row is very spacious. Our 6'1" son fits easily. Not in the third row though.

Thanks for sharing that!
how is the route planning compared to the ID4?
I can’t see my HUD.
I wish I had a HUD 😀

@@EVTipsAndTricksSecond row. The seats of the chairs, at least in the version we tried, are high, and his head touches the ceiling. 🤷♂🤷♂
@@TomEugelink Not in mine. I'm the same height.
@@allertschallenberg1857 I'm wondering. The car I tried had captain chairs on the second row. So it had a 6 person configuration. Does yours as well?
@@TomEugelink I have the 6-seater version with the swivel seats. Is that the one you tried?
Very nit picky. There are good reasons for everything you don't like.
