Overdrive: Weird and wonderful gear stick knobs (are they legal?); Subaru BRZ (manual); Peugeot 2008

My new car had a button that said “rear wiper”, but I was afraid to press it.

Program

Listener’s joke

An extended discussion on the feedback from our story on unusual gear stick knobs

  • A gear knob as an element of sculpture
  • Aussie gear stick knobs
  • Extreme examples including from a taxi in Fiji
  • Did you know it is illegal to not have the gear selection pattern on your gear knob
  • What should a car tell you other than the gear selection pattern

Road tests

  • Subaru BRZ manual transmission sports car
  • What’s happening with sports car sales in Australia
  • Peugeot 2008 Small SUV
  • Is there value in being different with a hint of prestige
