It was also the only car that I drove where you needed to pull on the shifter to enter reverse. There have been times I have accidentally shifted automatics into reverse because it went right past neutral. That has only happened with shifters on the steering column.

The only cars that I had to pull on the shifter to enter reverse were some of the Opel rebadges that used to be sold here as Chevy, and local models based on their mechanicals such as the Chevrolet Celta (my mom used to have one from 2007 to 2014), and IIRC this feature had also been included in some Fiats. But it's not unusual for European-designed cars to have an interlock to prevent accidental shifting into reverse. Remember the Beetle that required the lever to be pulled down to enter reverse?

The Ka was fun because, not knowing how to enter reverse, I put it in neutral, and pushed the SUV out of its parking spot.

LOL I guess it's gonna be quite easier to do so in the trike I'm willing to build, in case I don't even bother to add a reverse. But anyway, IIRC the first prototypes of the Citroën 2CV didn't have reverse.
