Natalya's still around. I personally don't think it's hard to wire up, but my standards are different. You'll probably learn a lot doing it.
Not sure if Daox's knob comes with wires. If it did, I removed them and soldered on different wires.
One arguable weakness of Honda's hybrids is that the electric motor is physically attached to the car's crankshaft. So, if you shift the engine into neutral, you also disconnect the electric motor from the wheels, and can't get regen. A Prius can shut the engine off and both regen and accelerate (very slowly) using just the motor. There were a lot of cases where I just slowed down in gear to recapture energy where in other cars I would have shut the engine off and slowed down in neutral.
