Which cars use a steering column gearshift?
I have an injury to my hand and find my Mercedes-Benz great to drive, as it has the gear changer on the steering column. I want to update my car but have been really unhappy with the Mercedes-Benz dealer customer service. Do any other makes of car have a gear changer on the steering column?

Mercedes-Benz is one of the last brands to have a column shift automatic gear selector. You'll also find this on Rolls-Royces still to this day, though. Other than that, it's only electric cars such as the BMW i3 and the Volkswagen ID models/Skoda Enyaq/Cupra Born that have a column shift.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
Is an electric car right for me?Similar questions
I require an automatic car because of knee problems. My annual mileage is around 6,000 miles a year. Is now the time to go all electric? I also have solar panels - is this beneficial? How do you advise...
I have noticed that many EV charging points are installed on the outside of houses, and not inside the garage. Is there a problem with charging in a garage?
Why are electric cars so expensive? It looks like a cynical profiteering opportunity to me, what’s the honest story?
