Frequently, especially it I have to do it "under stress" e.g. trying to park whilst conscious of holding up other cars

My problem with it is rather different - the on-off button is in exactly the same position as the Park button on a Prius - I have, on several occasions, come to the traffic lights, absent-mindedly turned the car off and then wondered why on earth it isn't moving as the lights turn green and I push the accelerator. Fortunately, it does get enough systems up and running to be able to move off within a small number of seconds!

I do have a bit of trouble when trying to reverse a trailer in a tight unfamiliar space. Traffic adds a bit to the entertainment. I think that because the joystick has a fixed start position, there is no reference when going from say drive to reverse and there is an occasional time when I have to reverse a sequence to get it right. Has been a while since I got it wrong. I have to fumble for the Power button as it is not visible from my driving position. Why would it be placed behind the wiper. I am going to have to try and reposition the seat and steering wheel to get more room and make it more visible. I have bloke hands and the button is a bit clumsy where it is currently placed. Would much rather it was on the door side of the dash. Maybe I have to reprogram my left hand to do the start function, that was previously a right hand function :lol:
